Abstract

Patch angioplasty during carotid endarterectomy is commonly used to treat symptomatic and asymptomatic carotid artery stenosis. The objective of the present study was to compare the different patch materials that are currently available (synthetic vs venous vs bovine pericardium) in terms of short- and long-term outcomes. This study was performed according to the Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic reviews and Meta-Analyses (PRISMA) guidelines and eligible randomized control trials were identified through a comprehensive search of PubMed, Scopus, and Cochrane Central published until September 2017. A meta-analysis was conducted with the use of a random effects model. The I2 statistic was used to assess for heterogeneity. The primary study end point was the incidence of long-term restenosis. Secondary study end points were 30-day stroke, transient ischemic attack (TIA), myocardial infarction, neck wound infection, local hematoma, carotid artery thrombosis, cranial nerve injury, long-term stroke incidence, and death. Eighteen studies and 3234 patients were included. The risk of 30-day stroke (relative risk [RR], 1.00; 95% confidence interval [CI], 0.45-2.19; I2 = 0%), TIA (RR, 1.14; 95% CI, 0.41-3.19; I2 = 0%), myocardial in...Continue Reading
