An Updated Systematic Review and Meta-analysis of Outcomes Following Eversion vs. Conventional Carotid Endarterectomy in Randomised Controlled Trials and Observational Studies.

CONCLUSIONS: Using combined RCT and OS data, eCEA was superior to cCEA regarding peri-operative outcomes (stroke, death, death/stroke) and late restenosis, but was similar to patched CEA in both early and late outcomes. This updated meta-analysis suggests that early and late outcomes following cCEA are similar to eCEA, provided the arteriotomy is patched. PMID: 29426593 [PubMed - as supplied by publisher]
