A Propensity Matched Comparison for Open and Endovascular Treatment of Post-carotid Endarterectomy Restenosis.

CONCLUSIONS: CAS and redo CEA in patients with post-CEA restenosis provided similar peri-operative results in a sample of equivalent patients. CAS patients had better follow-up results in terms of secondary restenosis and re-interventions. Further analysis is required with a larger number of patients and a longer follow-up time.
