After identifying relevant randomized controlled trials, methodological quality was assessed by using Cochrane tools of bias assessment. Meta-analysis was performed by RevMan software, and subgroup analyses according to different follow-up periods were also conducted.Results: Sixteen articles of nine randomized controlled trials containing 6,984 patients were included. Compared with CEA, CAS was associated with high risks of stroke during periprocedural 30 days (risk ratio [RR]=1.47, 95% confidence interval [CI]: 1.15–1.88), 48 months (RR=1.37, 95% CI: 1.11–1.70), and >48 months (RR=1.76, 95% CI: 1.34–2.31). There was no significant difference in the aspects of death, disabling stroke, or death at any time between the groups. For other periprocedural complications, CAS decreased the risk of myocardial infarction (RR=0.44, 95% CI: 0.26–0.75), cranial nerve palsy (RR=0.09, 95% CI: 0.04–0.22) and hematoma (RR=0.31, 95% CI: 0.14–0.68) compared with CEA, while it increased the risk of bradycardia or hypotension (RR=8.45, 95% CI 2.91–24.58).Conclusion: Compared with CEA, CAS reduced hematoma, periprocedural myocardial infarction, and cranial nerve palsy, while it was associated with higher risks of both short-term and long-term nondisabling stroke. And they seemed to be equivalent in other outcome measures. As regards to its minimal invasion, it should be applied only in specific patients.Keywords: symptomatic carotid artery stenosis, carotid artery stenting, carotid artery endarterectomyOuyang YAJiang YYu MZhang YHuang HDove Medical Pressarticlesymptomatic carotid-artery stenosiscarotid artery stentingcarotid artery endarterectomyCASCEAGeriatricsRC952-954.6ENClinical Interventions in Aging, Vol Volume 10, Pp 1733-1742 (2015)
