Key result
Carotid stenting with embolic protection resulted in a similar 30-day rate of all-cause mortality and nonfatal stroke compared to standard carotid endarterectomy (2% vs 2%).
Why the study?
Does carotid stenting with embolic protection provide equivalent 30-day outcomes compared to carotid endarterectomy in patients with symptomatic and asymptomatic carotid stenosis?
Does carotid stenting with embolic protection provide equivalent 30-day outcomes compared to carotid endarterectomy in patients with symptomatic and asymptomatic carotid stenosis?
Carotid stenting with embolic protection demonstrates equivalent 30-day risks of stroke or death compared to standard carotid endarterectomy in a broad risk population.

Does not support practice change for carotid revascularization; leaves open need for randomized confirmation of equivalence.

A 2003 study studied Symptomatic and asymptomatic carotid stenosis (n=397). Carotid stenting systems (CSS) with embolic protection vs. Standard carotid endarterectomy (CEA) was evaluated on 30-day all-cause mortality and nonfatal stroke. Carotid stenting with embolic protection resulted in a similar 30-day rate of all-cause mortality and nonfatal stroke compared to standard carotid endarterectomy (2% vs 2%).
