Abstract | BACKGROUND: METHODS: RESULTS: No significant differences were observed between patients with CAS and endarterectomy in terms of baseline clinical characteristics, dobutamine stress echocardiography results and cardiovascular medication. Perioperative myocardial ischemia was detected in nine patients (13%), perioperative troponin T release in seven patients (10%), early cardiac events in one patient (1%) and late cardiac events in three patients (4%). Significantly less perioperative myocardial ischemia was observed in patients with CAS compared with endarterectomy (0 versus 21%, P=0.02). Troponin T release was also significantly lower in CAS, compared with endarterectomy (0 versus 16%, P=0.04). Early (0 versus 2%, P=0.5) and late (0 versus 7%, P=0.2) cardiac events were lower after CAS, compared with endarterectomy, although these differences were not significant. CONCLUSION:
