Study Overview
This study compares the effects of two treatments for carotid stenosis: carotid endarterectomy (CEA) and carotid artery stenting (CAS). Both treatments affect how the body regulates blood pressure and heart function.
Key Findings
- 70 patients with carotid stenosis were randomly assigned to either CEA or CAS.
- After excluding some data, 33 patients underwent CEA and 25 underwent CAS.
- Measurements were taken before the procedure and at 6 and 12 months after.
- CEA showed better early improvement in autonomic and baroreflex control compared to CAS.
- CAS had similar initial results but showed reduced effectiveness in follow-ups.
- Long-term effects of both procedures were similar, indicating both treatments led to comparable changes in autonomic function.
