BACKGROUND AND PURPOSE: Carotid blowout is a life threatening complication of @entity135 and their treatments. This is commonly treated with @entity887 and carotid stenting. Using the Nationwide Inpatient Sample, we report the immediate clinical results of @entity1 receiving @entity887 and/or stenting for treatment of carotid blowout associated with @entity135 . MATERIALS AND METHODS: Using the Nationwide Inpatient Sample from the period 2003-2011, we defined carotid blowout @entity1 as those with head and neck @entity5 receiving carotid stenting and/or @entity887 without open surgery. Outcomes studied included mortality, acute @entity385 , @entity1158 /paresis, and other @entity16 . Outcomes for the @entity887 and carotid stenting group were compared. RESULTS: A total of 1218 @entity1 underwent endovascular treatment for carotid blowout. Of these, 1080 @entity1 (88.6%) underwent @entity887 procedures and 138 @entity1 (11.4%) underwent carotid stenting. The mortality rate of @entity887 @entity1 was similar to that of carotid stenting @entity1 (8.0%, 95% confidence interval (CI)   =   6.5%-9.7% versus 10.2%, 95% CI=6.0%-16.4%, p   =   0.36). @entity64 rate was similar between @entity887 @entity1 and stenting @entity1 (2.3%, 95% CI=1.6%-3.4% vs. 3.4%, 95% CI=1.3%-8.4%, p   =   0.43). @entity1158 rates were significantly higher rate in stenting @entity1 compared with @entity432 @entity1 (3.8%, 95% CI=1.3%-8.4% vs. 1.4%, 95% CI=1.4%-2.4%, p   =   0.05). The rate of @entity16 was higher in stenting @entity1 compared with @entity887 @entity1 (6.5%, 95% CI=3.3%-12.1% vs. 1.4%, 95% CI=0.9%-2.4%, p   <   0.0001). CONCLUSIONS: Given the natural history of carotid blowout, carotid stenting and @entity887 are acceptable means of treating this disease. @entity887 remains the most common treatment among @entity1 with @entity135 with @entity16 , including @entity1158 /paresis and @entity64 .
