The Efficacy of Carotid Surgery by Subgroups: The Concept of Stroke Prevention Potential.

CONCLUSIONS: National and international comparison of different CEA series is irrelevant if the inclusion criteria are not considered. A calculator that is easy to apply to large scale high quality registered data was developed and tested. SPP was found to increase over time, which is a probable sign of improved patient selection and an increased number of strokes prevented by the CEAs performed.
