Head to Head Comparison
•
Meta-Analysis of 13 RCTs evaluating 7484 patients
•
80% symptomatic
•
Comparison of Endarterectomy to Stenting
•
Stenting was associated with an increased risk of any stroke (RR 1.45), decreased risk
of MI (RR 0.43) , and a non significant increase in mortality
•
Evaluation of the most recent trials show
•
Stenting had an increase risk of stroke (RR 1.82) and mortality (RR 2.53) and a non
significant reduction in MI
•
For every 1000 patients opting for stenting rather than endarterectomy, 19 more
patients would have strokes and 10 fewer would have MIs.
