Carotid angioplasty and stenting (CAS) has not been shown to be as safe as carotid endarterectomy (CEA) with regard to the risks of periprocedural complications, but beyond the perioperative period, the risks are comparable, suggesting that CAS may be an acceptable option in selected patients. However, risk factors for perioperative stroke and death have not been clearly established. We aimed to estimate the 30-day absolute risks of stroke or death after CAS and investigate sources of heterogeneity.
