InspireMD Publishes Positive CREST-2 Data Confirming Efficacy of Carotid Stenting
- CREST-2 Study Results: InspireMD presented CREST-2 data at the SVIN Annual Meeting on November 21, 2025, showing that carotid artery stenting (CAS) significantly outperformed intensive medical management for patients with asymptomatic carotid stenosis. This finding provides crucial clinical evidence that could reshape treatment protocols for carotid disease.
- Clinical Trial Scale: The CREST-2 trial, independently conducted and NIH-sponsored, involved 155 centers globally with 1,245 patients randomized to the stenting group. Results indicated a significantly reduced risk of perioperative stroke or death over four years, underscoring the efficacy of stenting.
- Innovative Technology Advantage: InspireMD's CGuard®Prime stent demonstrated a record-low 1.93% major adverse event rate in the C-GUARDIANS trial, particularly among high-risk patients. This low event rate, combined with the positive CREST-2 results, reinforces the company's leadership in the carotid stenting market.
- Market Outlook: CEO Marvin Slosman stated that CREST-2 validates the superiority of combining stenting with medical management, indicating a shift towards an endovascular-first approach in vascular disease treatment. With growing recognition of effective treatments for asymptomatic carotid disease, InspireMD is poised for increased market share.
