Compared to CAS, VBS was associated with longer procedure time, more residual stenosis, and more SBIs, especially outside the stent-inserted vascular territory. The risk of SBIs after CAS was associated with stent size and procedural difficulty. Only age was associated with SBIs in VBS. The pathomechanism of SBIs after VBS and CAS may be different.
