ICSS. Death, stroke, or procedural MI: 8.5% with stenting vs. 5.2% with endarterectomy Any stroke: 7.7% vs. 4.1% (p = 0.002) Death or any stroke: 8.5% vs. 4.7% Death or disabling stroke: 4.0% vs. 3.2% (p = 0.34) All-cause death: 2.3% vs. 0.8% (p = 0.017).

ICSS Death, stroke, or procedural MI: 8.5% with stenting vs. 5.2% with endarterectomy Any stroke: 7.7% vs. 4.1% (p = 0.002) Death or any stroke: 8.5% vs. 4.7% Death or disabling stroke: 4.0% vs. 3.2% (p = 0.34) All-cause death: 2.3% vs. 0.8% (p = 0.017) Trial design: Patients with recently symptomatic (within the last year) carotid artery stenosis were randomized to carotid artery stenting (n = 855) versus carotid endarterectomy (n = 858). These are interim results, reported at 4 months. Results (p = 0.006) (p = 0.001) 8.5 8.5 % 5.2 4.7 Conclusions • Among patients with a recent TIA or stroke attributable to significant carotid artery stenosis, carotid artery stenting was associated with an increased hazard of death, stroke, or MI within 4 months compared with carotid endarterectomy Death, stroke, or procedural MI Death or any stroke Carotid stenting Carotid endarterectomy ICSS Investigators.
