Carotid artery revascularization using second generation stents versus surgery: a meta-analysis of clinical outcomes

CONCLUSIONS: Meta-analytic integration of available clinical data indicates: 1) reduction in stroke but increased restenosis rate with Casper/Roadsaver, and 2) reduction in both stroke and restenosis with CGuard MicroNET-covered stent against contemporary CEA outcomes at 30 days and 12 months used as a reference. This may inform clinical practice in anticipation of large-scale randomized trials powered for low clinical event rates (PROSPERO-CRD42022339789).PMID:38385840 | DOI:10.23736/S0021-9509.24.12933-3
