Article Abstract
Data from ongoing clinical trials will provide a more scientific foundation for recommendations about when to do carotid endarterectomy. Current evidence suggests that fewer endarterectomies should be done,and those on the basis of a more precise set of indications.Clinicians should consider the clinical presentation,the patient's comorbidity and native stroke risk,angiographic findings,and the experience of the surgical team.
