Residual stenosis, restenosis, and remodeling in study participants of the Carotid and Vertebral Artery Transluminal Angioplasty Study of carotid angioplasty with or without carotid angioplasty and stenting (CAS) vs carotid endarterectomy (CEA). A higher rate of restenosis was noted for the CAS group compared with the CEA group (P=.01). Other observed differences in residual stenosis and remodeling were not significant.
