Age modifies the relative risk of stenting versus endarterectomy for symptomatic carotid stenosis – a pooled analysis of EVA-3S, SPACE, and ICSS. Eur J Vasc Endovasc Surg 2011; 41: 153–158.

Conclusion
This analysis of individual data from 3433 patients randomized to surgery or stenting suggested that the overall death or stroke rate after 120 days was higher after stenting (8.9 vs. 5.8 per cent, P=0.0006). In patients under 70 years, however, the rates were equivalent: 5.8 vs. 5.7 per cent, relative risk 1.0, 95 per cent confidence interval 0.68 to 1.47.
