Impact of Proton Pump Inhibitor Use on Outcomes Following Carotid Artery Stenting for Asymptomatic Carotid Stenosis: A Population‐Based Cohort Study

The Kaohsiung Journal of Medical Sciences, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Carotid artery stenting (CAS) is an effective treatment for carotid stenosis. Proton‐pump inhibitors (PPIs) are commonly prescribed in the general population. However, the impact of PPI use on outcomes following CAS remains unknown. This study investigated the impact of PPI use on CAS using a retrospective, matched‐cohort analysis from the ...
