Systematic Comparison of the Early Outcome of Angioplasty and Endarterectomy for Symptomatic Carotid Artery Disease Stroke 31:1439-1443, Golledge,J.,et al, 2000 See this aricle in Pubmed Article Abstract Endoluminal treatment is being increasingly used for carotid artery disease. The aim of this study was to compare the stroke and death risk within 30 days of endovascular treatment or endarterectomy for symptomatic carotid artery disease. In the treatment of symptomatic carotid artery disease, the risk of stroke is significantly greater with angioplasty than carotid endarterectomy. At present, carotid angioplasty is not recommended for the majority of patients with symptomatic carotid artery disease.
