BACKGROUND: Stents are an alternative treatment to carotid endarterectomy for
symptomatic carotid stenosis, but previous trials have not established equivalent safety and …

Background Stenting is an alternative to endarterectomy for treatment of carotid artery
stenosis, but long-term efficacy is uncertain. We report long-term data from the randomised …

Background Results from randomised controlled trials have shown a higher short-term risk
of stroke associated with carotid stenting than with carotid endarterectomy for the treatment …

Background Carotid-artery stenting and carotid endarterectomy are both options for treating
carotid-artery stenosis, an important cause of stroke. Methods We randomly assigned …

Background—Carotid stenting is a less invasive percutaneous procedure than carotid
endarterectomy for the treatment of carotid stenosis. Reports suggest that it can be …

Objective To evaluate the relative short term safety and intermediate term efficacy of carotid
endarterectomy versus carotid artery stenting. Design Systematic review and meta-analysis …

OBJECTIVES: Carotid artery stenting (CAS) is an alternative to carotid endarterectomy
(CEA) for treating carotid artery stenosis. We conducted a systematic review and meta …

Background In the Carotid Revascularization Endarterectomy versus Stenting Trial, we
found no significant difference between the stenting group and the endarterectomy group …

Background Previous clinical trials have suggested that carotid-artery stenting with a device
to capture and remove emboli (“embolic protection”) is an effective alternative to carotid …

Background The risk of periprocedural stroke or death is higher after carotid artery stenting
(CAS) than carotid endarterectomy (CEA) for the treatment of symptomatic carotid stenosis …
