Randomized Trial of Stent Versus Surgery for Asymptomatic Carotid Stenosis
NEJM 374:DOI: 10.1056/NEJMoa1515706,, Rosenfield, K.,et al, 2016
See this aricle in Pubmed

Article Abstract
In this trial involving asymptomatic patients with severe carotid stenosis who were not a high risk for surgical complications, stenting was noninferior to endarterectomy with regard to the rate of the primary composite end point at 1 year. In analyses that included up to 5 years of follow-up, there were no significant differences between the study groups in the rates of non-procedure-related stroke, all stroke, and survival.
