摘要

Incidence of symptomatic carotid stenosis rises steeply with age, and an increasing population life expectancy makes treatment decisions in the elderly more relevant today than when the landmark carotid endarterectomy (CEA) trials were conducted. With an approximate 37% stroke risk at two years, the question is not whether to treat severe symptomatic stenosis in the elderly, but more appropriately whether to stent or operate. Carotid angioplasty and stenting (CAS) has evolved into a popular alternative to carotid endarterectomy for the treatment of carotid stenosis, particularly after publication of the largest randomized controlled trial (RCT) comparing the two procedures [Carotid Revascularization Endarterectomy versus Stent Trial (CREST)]. Octogenarians however were excluded from this trial due to evidence suggesting that they are at increased risk with CAS. In this issue of the journal, Calgary investigators report on their experience with CAS in octogenarians3 and they clearly wish to change this perception.
