Prognostic Role of Pre-Operative Symptom Status in Carotid Endarterectomy: A Systematic Review and Meta-Analysis.

CONCLUSION: Patients undergoing CEA after a stroke have worse peri-operative outcomes in terms of stroke and death. Further research needs to be performed to ascertain the value of this finding in risk stratification systems and to investigate potential aetiological associations between pre-operative symptom status and peri-operative risk following a CEA.
