Abstract
Society for Vascular Surgery practice guidelines recommend surveillance with duplex ultrasound at baseline (within 3 months from discharge), every 6 months for 2 years, and annually afterwards following carotid endarterectomy (CEA) or stenting (CAS). There is a growing concern regarding the significance of postoperative follow-up following several vascular procedures. We sought to determine whether loss to 1-year follow-up (LTF) following carotid revascularization was associated with worse outcomes in the Vascular Quality Initiative (VQI) linked to Vascular Implant Surveillance and Interventional Outcomes Network (VISION) database.
