Revascularization approaches in patients with radiation-induced carotid stenosis: an updated systematic review and meta-analysis

Patients treated with CEA have a higher risk for periprocedural CN injuries. Future prospective studies are warranted to validate these results.PMID:33885270 | DOI:10.33963/KP.15956
