Abstract

In the current issue of the Journal of Vascular Surgery, Solomon et al1 described the perioperative outcome after transfemoral carotid artery stenting (CAS) stratified by preprocedural symptomatic status with a special emphasis on outcome in patients with asymptomatic and formerly symptomatic (>180 days). In s previously reported study, the outcome after carotid endarterectomy (CEA) that stroke morbidity and mortality after CEA depended on carefully defined symptomatic status. The authors applied the same methodology to their present study on CAS using data from the National Surgical Quality Improvement Program in 9807 patients.
