Reporting standards for carotid interventions from the Society for Vascular Surgery

Relationship between histologic features and outcomes of carotid revascularization for radiation-induced stenosis

“…Clinical parameters and end points were selected following the reporting standards, including those stated in the abstract and the following ones. 19 Primary end points included ipsilateral and contralateral stroke, death, and myocardial infarction. Ipsilateral neurologic events, including ischemic or hemorrhagic cerebral stroke, transient ischemic attack, amaurosis fugax, and retinal artery occlusion, were separately analyzed by Kaplan-Meier estimates.…”

Transcervical carotid stenting with flow reversal is a safe technique for high-risk patients older than 70 years

“…An independent neurologist classified patients as neurologically symptomatic or asymptomatic, using the reporting standards of the Society for Vascular Surgery. 13 The degree of carotid stenosis was determined by Doppler ultrasound (DUS) imaging (Philips HD 11 Bothell, Wash) of the supra-aortic trunks. Magnetic resonance angiography was performed to study the morphology of the lesion, determine the presence of kinking, evaluate intracranial circulation, and confirm the degree of stenosis when DUS examination was considered unreliable.…”

Effects of preoperative statin use on perioperative outcomes of carotid endarterectomy

“…A postoperative ECG was routinely obtained in all patients with a history of coronary artery disease, congestive heart failure, or arrhythmia (rhythm other than sinus) and cardiac isoenzymes were surveyed in all patients who had new findings at postoperative ECG. Any complications and events observed during the follow‐up were recorded in accordance with the guidelines of the Reporting Standards for Carotid Interventions from the Society for Vascular Surgery (Timaran, McKinsey, Schneider, & Littooy, 2011). Primary endpoints were perioperative stroke and death.…”
