Is carotid endarterectomy superior to carotid angioplasty and stenting for perioperative and long-term results?
The 30-day RR of stroke, stroke/death, long-term risk of stroke, and risk of restenosis are consistently higher for carotid artery stenting (CAS).
Carefully screened prediabetic living kidney donors often revert to normal fasting glucose and do not seem to have a significantly increased risk of impaired kidney function in the short term.
