Stenting Versus Endarterectomy for Treatment of Carotid-Artery Stenosis
NEJM 363:11-23, 80, Brott,T.G., et al, 2010
See this aricle in Pubmed

Article Abstract
Among patients with symptomatic or asymptomatic carotid stenosis, the risk of the composite primary outcome of stroke, myocardial infarction, or death did not differ significantly in the group undergoing carotid-artery stenting and the group undergoing carotid endarterectomy. During the periprocedural period, there was a higher risk of stroke with stenting and a higher risk of myocardial infarction with endarterectomy.
