Data concerning these interventions were prospectively inserted in a dedicated database. A retrospective analysis of that database was performed and 457\u00a0interventions performed in patients aged 60 or less were found (group 1). The control group was represented by 457\u00a0interventions selected from the remaining 5436 by a one\u2010to\u2010one coarsened exact matching on the basis of all the baseline demographic and clinical covariates significantly different in the two groups (group 2). The two groups were compared in terms of intraoperative technical features and perioperative (&lt;30\u00a0days) results of interventions (transient ischaemic attack\u2010TIA, stroke and death rates) with <jats:italic>\u03c7<\/jats:italic><jats:sup>2<\/jats:sup> test. Follow\u2010up data were analysed by life\u2010table analysis (Kaplan\u2013Meier test) in terms of survival, stroke\u2010free and neurological symptom\u2010free survival, freedom from severe restenosis and occlusion and freedom from reintervention, and the results in the two groups were compared by means of log rank test.<\/jats:p><\/jats:sec><jats:sec><jats:title>Results<\/jats:title><jats:p>There were no differences between the two groups in terms of clinical presentation and of degree of carotid stenosis on operated side. Anaesthesiological and surgical details were also similar between the two groups. Thirty\u2010day stroke and death rate was 0.6% in both groups (<jats:italic>p<\/jats:italic> = 0.9). Follow\u2010up was available for 877 patients (96% of the study group) with a mean duration of 50\u00a0months. Estimated 10\u2010year survival rates were 85% in group 1 (SE 0.03) and 76% in group 2 (SE 0.04, <jats:italic>p<\/jats:italic> = 0.003, log rank 8.9). At the same time interval, stroke\u2010free survival was also significantly better in group 1 (85%, SE 0.035) than in group 2 (72.5%, SE 0.03; <jats:italic>p<\/jats:italic> = 0.002, log rank 10.1). The corresponding figures in terms of any neurological symptom\u2010free survival were 82.8% in group 1 (SE 0.04) and 70.3% in group 2 (SE 0.04, <jats:italic>p<\/jats:italic> = 0.002, log rank 9.7). Estimated freedom from severe restenosis and occlusion was 76.5% in group 1 (SE 0.04) and 88.5% in group 2 (SE 0.035, <jats:italic>p<\/jats:italic> = 0.001, log rank 11.9). Disease recurrence was symptomatic in six cases, three in each group. Estimated freedom from reintervention rates at 10 years was 87% in group 1 (SE 0.035) and 91.5% in group 2 (SE 0.03; <jats:italic>p<\/jats:italic> = 0.2, log rank 1.1).<\/jats:p><\/jats:sec><jats:sec><jats:title>Conclusions<\/jats:title><jats:p>CEA in patents aged 60 or less is safe and provides significantly better long\u2010term results than those obtained in patients over 60\u00a0in terms of survival and stroke\u2010free survival. Younger patients appear to have higher rates of recurrent carotid stenosis compared to the older cohort; however, these rarely require a secondary intervention.<\/jats:p><\/jats:sec>","DOI":"10.1007\/s00268-017-4133-1","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2017,7,21]],"date-time":"2017-07-21T14:42:22Z","timestamp":1500648142000},"page":"263-271","update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.1007\/springer_crossmark_policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":2,"title":["A Matched Case\u2013Control Study on Early and Late Results of Carotid Endarterectomy Performed in Young Patients"],"prefix":"10.1002","volume":"42","author":[{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0003-3814-5961","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Walter","family":"Dorigo","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Vascular Surgery, Department of Cardiothoracic and Vascular Surgery, Careggi University Teaching Hospital University of Florence School of Medicine Largo Brambilla 3 50134 Florence Italy"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Aaron","family":"Fargion","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Vascular Surgery, Department of Cardiothoracic and Vascular Surgery, Careggi University Teaching Hospital University of Florence School of Medicine Largo Brambilla 3 50134 Florence Italy"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Elena","family":"Giacomelli","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Vascular Surgery, Department of Cardiothoracic and Vascular Surgery, Careggi University Teaching Hospital University of Florence School of Medicine Largo Brambilla 3 50134 Florence Italy"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Giulia","family":"Bassoli","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Vascular Surgery, Department of Cardiothoracic and Vascular Surgery, Careggi University Teaching Hospital University of Florence School of Medicine Largo Brambilla 3 50134 Florence Italy"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Raffaele","family":"Pulli","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Vascular Surgery University of Bari Bari Italy"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Giovanni","family":"Pratesi","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Vascular Surgery University of Rome Tor Vergata Rome Italy"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Gabriele","family":"Piffaretti","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Vascular Surgery University of Insubria Varese Italy"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Carlo","family":"Pratesi","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Vascular Surgery, Department of Cardiothoracic and Vascular Surgery, Careggi University Teaching Hospital University of Florence School of Medicine Largo Brambilla 3 50134 Florence Italy"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]}],"member":"311","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2017,7,21]]},"reference":[{"key":"e_1_2_7_2_2","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1161\/STROKEAHA.115.003390"},{"key":"e_1_2_7_3_2","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1016\/j.jvs.2011.11.128"},{"key":"e_1_2_7_4_2","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1007\/s10072\u2010013\u20101453\u20102"},{"key":"e_1_2_7_5_2","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1161\/STROKEAHA.111.000513"},{"key":"e_1_2_7_6_2","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1001\/jamasurg.2013.4135"},{"key":"e_1_2_7_7_2","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1016\/S0741\u20105214(97)70037\u20105"},{"key":"e_1_2_7_8_2","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1016\/S0741\u20105214(97)70256\u20108"},{"key":"e_1_2_7_9_2","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1016\/S0741\u20105214(97)70354\u20109"},{"key":"e_1_2_7_10_2","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1007\/s10016\u2010001\u20100029\u20104"},{"key":"e_1_2_7_11_2","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1016\/S0140\u20106736(15)01309\u20104"},{"key":"e_1_2_7_12_2","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1016\/j.jvs.2009.07.013"},{"key":"e_1_2_7_13_2","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1016\/j.ejvs.2010.11.026"},{"issue":"5","key":"e_1_2_7_14_2","first-page":"1","article-title":"Diagnosis of vascular diseases.
