Overview of primary and secondary analyses from 20 randomised controlled trials comparing carotid artery stenting with carotid endarterectomy. Eur J Vasc Endovasc Surg 2019; 58: 479-493

Published: 15th June 2020

Authors: Batchelder AJ, Saratzis A, Naylor AR

Conclusion

Twenty RCTs were included. Compared to carotid endarterectomy, stenting increase the risk of death or stroke at 30 days: odds ratio 1.64, 95 per cent confidence interval 1.02 to 2.64.
