Article Synopsis
- The study aimed to identify factors influencing early complications following carotid endarterectomy (CEA) by analyzing data from 509 patients over a decade.
- Results showed a low complication rate (3.9%) within 30 days, with smoking and a modified Rankin scale (mRS) score of 3 or higher significantly associated with increased risk.
- The findings confirm that while CEA is generally safe, certain risk factors, like smoking and higher mRS scores, can elevate the chances of complications.
Background: Carotid artery stenting (CAS) as a competing treatment modality has had to adhere to limits to gain widespread acceptance in some studies. This study analyzed the clinical data of 1700 consecutive patients after CAS to retrospectively evaluate the 30-day outcome of CAS for internal carotid artery stenosis in a Chinese population.
Methods: Medical records of 1700 patients who underwent CAS at Xuanwu Hospital affiliated to Capital Medical University between January 2001 and August 2012 were reviewed.
