    This chart demonstrates the odds ratios with 95% confidence intervals for postoperative stroke after carotid artery revascularization by carotid artery stenting (CAS) or carotid endarterectomy (CEA).

    This chart demonstrates the odds ratios with 95% confidence intervals for postoperative stroke after carotid artery revascularization by carotid artery stenting (CAS) or carotid endarterectomy (CEA). CAS was predictive of postoperative stroke by logistic regression. COPD, Chronic obstructive pulmonary disease; CHF, congestive heart failure.
