Risk of Inhospital Stroke or Death Is Associated With Age But Not Sex in Patients Treated With Carotid Endarterectomy for Asymptomatic or Symptomatic Stenosis in Routine Practice: Secondary Data Analysis of the Nationwide German Statutory Quality Assurance Database From 2009 to 2014 Cardiovascular Surgery
ConclusionsThis study shows that increasing age, but not sex, is associated with a higher risk of in‐hospital stroke or death following carotid endarterectomy under everyday conditions in Germany. Whereas the risk of death (alone) is significantly associated with age, the association between age and the risk of stroke (alone) can be considered of minor importance.

Safety of Simultaneous Coronary Artery Bypass Grafting and Carotid Endarterectomy Versus Isolated Coronary Artery Bypass Grafting Clinical Sciences
Conclusions—Although our results cannot rule out a treatment-group effect because of lack of power, a superiority of the synchronous combined carotid endarterectomy+CABG approach seems unlikely. Five-year follow-up of patients is still ongoing.Clinical Trial Registration—URL: https://www.controlled-trials.com. Unique identifier: ISRCTN13486906.

Patient characteristics and in-hospital outcomes of emergency carotid endarterectomy and carotid stenting after stroke in evolution
The objective of this study was to describe characteristics and in-hospital outcomes of patients treated with carotid endarterectomy (CEA) and carotid artery stenting (CAS) for stroke in evolution (SIE) under routine conditions in Germany.

Last neurologic event is associated with risk of in-hospital stroke or death after carotid endarterectomy or carotid artery stenting: Secondary data analysis of the German statutory quality assurance database
We sought to analyze the association between last neurologic event and the risk of stroke or death among patients treated with carotid endarterectomy (CEA) or carotid artery stenting (CAS) under routine conditions in Germany.

Stenosis Length and Degree Interact With the Risk of Cerebrovascular Events Related to Internal Carotid Artery Stenosis
Conclusion: We found a statistically insignificant tendency for the ultrasound-measured length of sICAS<70% to be longer than that of sICAS≥70%. Moreover, the ultrasound-measured length of sICAS<90% was significantly longer than that of sICAS 90%. Among patients with sICAS≥70%, the degree and length of stenosis were inversely correlated. Larger studies are needed before a clinical implication can be drawn from these results. Introduction Internal carotid artery stenosis (ICAS) causes around one-fifth of ischemic cerebrovascular stroke and has the highest risk of early stroke recurrence...

Early postoperative outcome after carotid artery endarterectomy with bifurcation advancement
Conclusions: CEA with bifurcation advancement provides comparable perioperative results, focusing on combined stroke and mortality, but seems to have some technical drawbacks, which may lead to more frequent local neurological complications.PMID:37170543 | DOI:10.1024/0301-1526/a001074
