07/01/1993 - "In those areas where studies are complete, carotid endarterectomy has been shown to be highly effective in reducing stroke risk. "
01/01/2020 - "Although techniques and selection criteria for patients have dramatically improved, CAS continues to have higher risk of stroke and death in comparison to carotid endarterectomy. "
06/15/2015 - "This will help to determine the risk of stroke and to decide on the best treatment - carotid endarterectomy or carotid stenting."
06/01/2000 - "To promote strategic improvement in prevention, treatment, and rehabilitation for veterans who may be at risk or have had a stroke, specific objectives are proposed to (1) identify best practices for the effective delivery of long-term anticoagulation and enhance veterans' access to these services, (2) develop risk-adjusted models for the surgical preventive procedure carotid endarterectomy to understand facility variation in outcomes so practices can be improved, (3) define a systematic acute stroke management system so that high-quality stroke-related care can be generalizable to a variety of VHA settings, and (4) assess the impact of poststroke rehabilitation on risk adjustment and the location of outcomes so as to facilitate the implementation of best rehabilitation practices."
02/01/2011 - "Although carotid endarterectomy is the established gold standard for carotid revascularization, carotid artery angioplasty and stenting (CAS)-proven by large randomized clinical trials and rigorous registries and supported by improving stent designs, embolic protection, and increasing neurointerventionalist experience-is developing into a safer and more efficacious method of stroke prevention.
