Abstract
Secondary data analysis based on a nationwide statutory quality assurance database between 2012 and 2014 by the Institute for Applied Quality Improvement and Research in Health Care by the aQua Institute, Göttingen, Germany. Analyses of 4717 carotid artery stenting (CAS) procedures for symptomatic carotid stenosis were performed. The in-hospital stroke or death rate varied according to the timing of CAS after the index event: 0-2 days = 6.0%; 3-7 days = 4.4%; 8-14 days = 2.4%; and 15-180 days = 3.0%. Performing CAS within 7 days of a neurologic index event was associated with an increased risk for stroke or death compared to later interventions.
