Significant work has detailed the risk of long-term stroke, myocardial infarction, and death in patients undergoing carotid endarterectomy (CEA) and carotid artery stenting (CAS). However, little is known about the relative rates of subsequent intervention following these procedures. We aimed to compare the rates of subsequent carotid artery intervention—either ipsilateral or contralateral—for patients undergoing CEA and CAS.
