Abstract
Recent randomised controlled trials comparing carotid artery stenting (CAS) with endarterectomy (CEA) for the treatment of symptomatic carotid stenosis were not powered to investigate differences in risks in specific patient subgroups. We therefore performed a pooled analysis of individual patient data from the Symptomatic Severe Carotid Stenosis trial (EVA-3S), the Stent-Protected Angioplasty versus Carotid Endarterectomy trial (SPACE), and the International Carotid Stenting Study (ICSS).
