Temporal Changes in Periprocedural Events in the Carotid Revascularization Endarterectomy Versus Stenting Trial

摘要

Background and Purpose-Post-hoc, we hypothesized that over the recruitment period of the Carotid Revascularization Endarterectomy Versus Stenting Trial (CREST), increasing experience and improved patient selection with carotid stenting, and to a lesser extent, carotid endarterectomy would contribute to lower periprocedural event rates.
