Risk of Stroke or Death Is Associated With the Timing of Carotid Artery Stenting for Symptomatic Carotid Stenosis: A Secondary Data Analysis of the German Statutory Quality Assurance Database.

In multivariable regression analysis, the risk for any in‐hospital stroke or death was decreased if patients were treated between 8 and 14 days, the risk for any in‐hospital major stroke or death was decreased if patients were treated later than 8 days after the index event, and the risk for all‐cause death was significantly decreased if patients were treated between 3 and 14 days ( P =0.036 and 0.011), and almost significantly decreased if patients were treated after 14 days ( P =0.054) compared to the 0‐ to 2‐day reference group (Figure 2 ).
