Evaluation and comparison of postoperative outcomes of octogenarians and non-octogenarians undergoing carotid endarterectomy

ConclusionWe thought that CEA remains the most efficient treatment modality among symptomatic and asymptomatic octogenarians with severe carotid artery stenosis and no difference was found compared to non-octogenarians. Advanced age should not be considered as a  high-risk group and selected octogenarians are good candidates for CEA.
