Data are mean ϩ/-S.D.Results: 306 patients underwent either CEA (nϭ174) or CAS (nϭ132). Patients undergoing CEA trended towards a higher prevalence of being symptomatic (44.8 %)compared to CAS(34.0%,Pϭ 0.09). Age was not significantly different between patients undergoing CEA and CAS (70.2 vs 72.0,respectively, Pϭ0.36). CAD was more common in patients undergoing CAS (60.3% vs 39%,Pϭ0.003). The prevalence of COPD, ESRD, Hypertension and diabetes were not significantly significant.
