Abstract
Diabetic patients are at an increased risk of perioperative stroke, death, and long-term mortality compared with nondiabetic patients who undergo carotid artery revascularization. This knowledge can help further risk stratify patients with carotid artery stenosis before treatment. Future studies should focus on evaluating which mode of revascularization (CEA or CAS) is more effective in diabetic patients with carotid artery stenosis.
