Carotid endarterectomy for symptomatic carotid stenosis. [PDF]
Cochrane Database of Systematic Reviews, 2017 Severe narrowing (stenosis) of the carotid artery is an important cause of stroke. Surgical treatment (carotid endarterectomy) may reduce the risk of stroke, but carries a risk of operative complications.To determine the balance of benefit versus risk of endarterectomy plus best medical management compared with best medical management alone in patients
