Risk of Reintervention Is Lower for Carotid Endarterectomy Than Carotid Artery Stenting

Perioperative outcomes for carotid endarterectomy (CEA) and carotid artery stenting (CAS) have been well-studied. Less is known about the durability and reintervention rates of each, particularly in the era of transcarotid artery revascularization (TCAR). We sought to compare real-world rates of ipsilateral reintervention, stroke, and death in patients undergoing CEA and CAS, with an additional analysis of CAS patients comparing reintervention between transfemoral stenting (TFCAS) and TCAR.
