Short-term outcomes of transfemoral carotid artery stenting and carotid endarterectomy in symptomatic patients: data from a multicentric prospective registry in Brazil
Transfemoral carotid artery stenting (TF-CAS) and carotid endarterectomy (CEA) are alternative strategies for stroke prevention in patients with atherosclerotic carotid disease. Since their main objective is to prevent future ischemic events, regular reassessment of the outcomes is mandatory for providing the best therapy.

Clinical Research, Basic ScienceEpidemiological Analysis of 37,424 Carotid Artery Stenosis Intervention procedures during 11 years in the Public Health System in Brazil: Stenting Has Been More Common than Endarterectomy
Stroke (cerebrovascular accident) figures among CVDs as the second leading cause of death worldwide, responding for approximately 5.7 million cases per year, which represent 10% of global mortality (1), as well as the third leading cause of disability globally (2). In Brazil, stroke is currently the second leading cause of death and impairing symptoms (3). In 10 to 20% of cases, strokes are secondary to carotid atherosclerosis (4), hence the relevance of analysing carotid bifurcation operative procedures as a sensible preventative measure for cerebral ischemic diseases.
