Supports procedural choice equipoise in observational cohorts; leaves open need for randomized confirmation of long-term equivalence.
Does stenting reduce the risk of periprocedural stroke, myocardial infarction, or death and subsequent ipsilateral stroke compared to endarterectomy in patients with carotid-artery stenosis?
At 10 years of follow-up, stenting and endarterectomy demonstrated comparable long-term outcomes for the composite risk of stroke, myocardial infarction, or death in patients with carotid-artery stenosis.
