Statins reduce mortality and failure to rescue after carotid artery stenting

Journal of Vascular Surgery Jun 20, 2018

Rizwan M, et al. The effect of statins on postoperative outcomes after carotid artery stenting (CAS) was determined via a retrospective analysis of the Premier Healthcare Database from 2009 to 2015. Researchers identified 17,800 patients who underwent CAS during the study period, and of these, 12,416 (70%) patients were taking statins. Statin use after CAS was associated with a significant reduction in mortality and failure to rescue in patients who develop major complications (stroke/MI). Hence, they strongly recommend encouraging statin use in all patients undergoing CAS.
