Association Between Age and Risk of Stroke or Death from Carotid Endarterectomy and Carotid Stenting: A Meta-Analysis of Pooled Patient Data from Four Randomised Trials Lancet 387:1305-1311, Howard, G.,et al, 2016 See this aricle in Pubmed Article Abstract Background Age was reported to be an effect-modifier in four randomized controlled trials comparing carotid artery stenting (CAS) and carotid endarterectomy (CEA), with better CEA outcomes than CAS outcomes noted in the more elderly patients. We aimed to describe the association of age with treatment differences in symptomatic patients and provide age-specific estimates of the risk of stroke and death within narrow (5 year) age groups.
