Low Risk of Neurological Recurrence while Awaiting Carotid Endarterectomy: Results From a Danish Multicentre Study
CONCLUSION: In symptomatic carotid artery stenosis patients awaiting CEA, very few NRs occurred within 14 days. Institution of immediate BMT in specialised TIA/stroke units followed by early, but not necessarily urgent, CEA is a reasonable course of action in patients with high grade symptomatic carotid artery stenosis.PMID:34127375 | DOI:10.1016/j.ejvs.2021.04.016

Screening with doppler ultrasound for carotid artery stenosis in patients with stroke or transient ischaemic attack
ConclusionsIn a major Danish stroke centre, the national recommended time limit of 4 days in patients with stroke or transient ischaemic attack for screening for carotid stenosis was met in almost all patients. No patients were excluded from surgery as a result of a time limit of 14 days from admission to surgery being exceeded. Of all patients screened, 1·2% underwent carotid endarterectomy.
