Article Abstract
Results of the ECST and NASCET were consistent when analyzed in the same way. In ECST, surgery was highly beneficial for 70% to 99% stenosis and moderately beneficial for 50% to 69% stenosis. However, contrary to clinical recommendations a nd current practice, surgery was of little benefit in patients with carotid near occlusion.
