Long ‐term results of carotid stenting and risk factors in patients with severe carotid artery stenosis undergoing subsequent cardiac surgery

ConclusionsIn this study with staged CAS followed by cardiac surgery, we confirm previously reported event ‐free survival rates and identify several risk factors for the composite outcome. Future studies are needed to confirm the importance of the identified risk factors and to assess their predictive ability.
