... the proposed methodology is used to estimate the average effect of carotid endarterectomy versus carotid stenting on the mortality of patients suffering from carotid artery disease. Results suggest that ...
Background
The value of carotid intervention is predicated on long-term survival for patients to derive a stroke prevention benefit. Randomized trials report no significant difference in survival after ...
Background The long-term effectiveness of atherectomy treatment for peripheral arterial disease is unknown. We studied 5-year clinical outcomes by endovascular treatment type among patients with peripheral ...
Two‐stage instrumental variable methods are commonly used for estimating average causal effects in the presence of an unmeasured confounder. In the context of the proportional hazard Cox regression models, ...

Survival after carotid endarterectomy (CEA) and carotid artery stenting (CAS) is required for patients to derive a stroke prevention benefit. Randomized trials report no difference, whereas observational ...
