Effect of Patching on Reducing Restenosis in the Carotid Revascularization Endarterectomy Versus Stenting Trial [Clinical Sciences]

Thus, more widespread use of patching should be considered to improve long-term durability. Clinical Trial Registration— URL: http://www.clinicaltrials.gov. Unique identifier: NCT00004732.
