Inclusion Criteria: 1. Subject must be ≥ 18 years of age. 2. Subject does not have any condition that limits their anticipated survival to less than 3 years. 3. Subject or a legally authorized representative must provide written informed consent prior to any trial related procedure. 4.

Subjects without neurological symptoms within 180 days of the procedure and ≥ 70% stenosis of the common or internal carotid artery by ultrasound or ≥ 60% stenosis of the common or internal carotid artery by angiogram. 6. Subject with all the following target vessel characteristics: 1. Discrete lesion in internal carotid artery (ICA) with or without involvement of the contiguous common carotid artery (CCA). 2. Vessel diameter ≥ 4.0 mm and ≤ 9.0 mm from reference or contralateral artery. 3. Absence of excessive vessel tortuosity that would impede delivery of devices. 7. Subject must agree not to participate in any other clinical trial for a period of 1 year following the index procedure. Exclusion Criteria: 1. Subjects with anatomic or clinical conditions which make them at high risk for adverse events from carotid endarterectomy (CEA). 2.

Subject is currently participating in another clinical trial that has not yet completed its primary endpoint. 6.
