Asymptomatic carotid artery

There are data to suggest that patients with asymptomatic carotid artery stenosis of 60% or more benefit from carotid endarterectomy if it is performed by a qualified surgeon with low complication rates (less than 3%). At this time, there is considerable controversy over how this information can be applied to clinical practice. A current review recommends considering carotid endarterectomy in patients with carotid artery stenosis... [Pg.170]
