Journal ArticleDOI

Beneficial effect of carotid endarterectomy in symptomatic patients with high-grade carotid stenosis

TL;DR: Carotid endarterectomy is highly beneficial to patients with recent hemispheric and retinal transient ischemic attacks or nondisabling strokes and ipsilateral high-grade stenosis of the internal carotid artery.
Journal ArticleDOI

Benefit of carotid endarterectomy in patients with symptomatic moderate or severe stenosis. North American Symptomatic Carotid Endarterectomy Trial Collaborators.

TL;DR: Benefit of carotid endarterectomy was greatest among men, patients with recent stroke as the qualifying event, and patients with hemispheric symptoms, and decisions about treatment for patients in this category must take into account recognized risk factors.
Journal Article

The 6-minute walk: a new measure of exercise capacity in patients with chronic heart failure

TL;DR: It is concluded that the 6-minute walk is a useful measure of functional exercise capacity and a suitable measure of outcome for clinical trials in patients with chronic heart failure.
Journal ArticleDOI

Analysis of pooled data from the randomised controlled trials of endarterectomy for symptomatic carotid stenosis.

TL;DR: Re-analysis of the trials with the same measurements and definitions yielded highly consistent results, indicating that surgery is of some benefit for patients with 50-69% symptomatic stenosis, and highly beneficial for those with 70% symptome stenosis or greater but without near-occlusion.
Journal ArticleDOI

The North American Symptomatic Carotid Endarterectomy Trial Surgical Results in 1415 Patients

TL;DR: The overall rate of perioperative stroke and death was 6.5%, but the rate of permanently disabling stroke anddeath was only 2.0%, indicating that carotid endarterectomy is a durable procedure.
