Comparison of Carotid Artery Stenting and Carotid Endarterectomy in Patients with Symptomatic Carotid Artery Stenosis: A Single Center Study.

CONCLUSION: In our trial of patients with symptomatic carotid artery stenosis, no significant difference could be shown in periprocedural outcomes, postprocedural outcomes except TIA, and in composite endpoints between the CEA and CAS groups. CAS is a safe and efficacious alternative for the treatment of symptomatic carotid artery stenosis.
