Fig. 1 All patients: SFS rate. Probability of SFS at 5 years was not significantly different between men and women after CEA (Kaplan-Meier method, log-rank test, P =.584).

Fig. 2 Asymptomatic patients: SFS rate. Among previously asymptomatic patients, probability of SFS at 5 years was not significantly different between men and women after CEA (Kaplan-Meier method, log-rank test, P =.153).

Fig. 3 Symptomatic patients: SFS rate. Among patients with preoperative stroke or TIA, probability of SFS at 5 years was not significantly different between men and women after CEA (Kaplan-Meier method, log-rank test, P =.845).
