Carotid stenting versus endarterectomy for the treatment of carotid artery stenosis: Contemporary results from a large single center study

ConclusionThe risk of the composite endpoint did not differ significantly between those undergoing CAS versus CEA. The stenting group demonstrated a higher rate of periprocedural stroke, which was also apparent when patients were stratified by stenting department. These differences were likely driven by variation in baseline medical comorbidities and symptom status. © 2016 Wiley Periodicals, Inc.
