Guidelines for Carotid Endarterectomy: A Statement for Healthcare Professionals From a Special Writing Group of the Stroke Council, American Heart Association
Open accessAbstract
ince the 1950s carotid endarterectomy has been performed in patients with symptomatic carotid artery stenosis, based on suggestive but inconclusive evidence for its effectiveness.Only during the last 5 years have randomized studies clarified the indications for surgery.In preparing this report, panel members used the same rules of evidence used in the previous report 1,2 (Table). Management of Risk FactorsFew studies have analyzed control of risk factors in a randomized, prospective manner following carotid endarterectomy.However, a wealth of data are available regarding the general relationship between risk factor control and stroke risk.These data provide some guidance for the care of endarterectomy patients."Guidelines for Carotid Endarterectomy" was approved by the American Heart Association Science Advisory and Coordinating Committee in August 1997.This statement is being published simultaneously in the February 10 issue of Circulation.

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
