Description

  Carotid endarterectomy (CEA) is an established surgical treatment for carotid stenosis. Recently, carotid artery stenting (CAS) has become aveilable as an alternative for treating the disease. However, which surgical method is the better choice is still controversial. Recent developments in medical treatment have brought remarkable improvement in the outcome of carotid stenosis. It is therefore time to reconsider the guidelines for carotid stenosis treatment based on the updated clinical evidence.
