Aim of the study Comparing CAS and CEA effectiveness in the same patient, in order to avoid any confounding influence due to patient’s inherent risk factors. Aug. 2012
Methods 45 patients / 90 procedures 34 Males, mean age 70 +7 years Eversion CEA and CAS (EZ wire Boston Scientific + Precise stent ) The same carotid-colour Doppler ultrasonograph (Hewlett Packard Sonos 1000, Andover, MA, USA) was used in all the exams. Furthermore, in order to reduce bias, a single expert ultrasonographer managed all the echo-colour Doppler evaluations All patients underwent a first intervention, CAS or CEA followed by the alternative compared procedure, on the controlateral side
Methods Patients were re-evaluated as part of the routinely post-operative management, at 30-60 days and at one year follow-up after both procedure, with an echo-colour Doppler examination of carotid arteries in order to assess the effectiveness of the revascularization treatment Patients belong simultaneously to the control group and the study group
Endpoints Primary : TIA, stroke, myocardial infarction and death Secondary : Percentage of restenosis evaluated by ultrasound at 30, 180, >365 days follow-up times.
Results • Averagestenosisvaluepreinterventionwas 72+11% and resultednot significative among CEA and CAS groupaswellasplaquemorphology • Peri and postperative TIA, stroke, myocardial infarction and death were not statistically significant
Long Term Results CEA CAS * from revascularization procedure (CEA and CAS) Percentage of restenosis at 30,180, >360 days were 0+1, 5+6, 17+10 in CAS group and 2+5,12+18, 25+22 in CEA group respectively (p<0.01)
Conclusions Carotid stenting results to be as effective as carotid endarterectomy CAS seems to confer some additional advantages in the long term follow up
CEA or CAS? • Neurological symptoms • Plaque morphology • Vessel anatomy • Patient risk factors • Scientific Trials
