Abstract

Key Points: For symptomatic and asymptomatic patient with high or intermediate risk of CEA complications, CAS with the use of EPDs has a very low rate of in‐hospital stroke and death There is no statistically significant difference in ipsilateral stroke/TIA and any stroke/TIA between the different device platforms Further efforts to assess differences between EPD devices would likely need to involve a surrogate endpoint due to the very low rates of clinical events
