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

Effect of More Expedited Carotid Intervention on Recurrent Ischaemic Event Rate: A National Audit.
CONCLUSIONS: A substantial reduction in the secondary ischaemic event rate was observed when the median waiting time for CEA/CAS was reduced, and this was not counterbalanced by any increase in the peri-operative complication rate. PMID: 30057011 [PubMed - as supplied by publisher]

Hospital Process Redesign Leading to Waiting Time Improvements in Delivery of Stroke-Prevention Surgery to Patients With Symptomatic Carotid Artery Stenosis
This study assessed whether carotid endarterectomy (CEA) waiting times have improved after a collaborative hospital process redesign at The Ottawa Hospital (TOH) aimed at expediting referral, evaluation, and treatment of patients with symptomatic internal carotid artery stenosis.
