Carotid Stenting versus Endarterectomy in Patients undergoing Re-intervention after Prior Carotid Endarterectomy

摘要

IntroductionOutcomes for patients undergoing intervention for restenosis after prior ipsilateral carotid endarterectomy (CEA) in the era of carotid stenting (CAS) are unclear. We compared perioperative results and durability of CAS versus CEA in patients with symptomatic or asymptomatic restenosis after prior CEA and investigated the risk of re-intervention compared to primary procedures.
