Analysis of Pooled Data From the Randomised Controlled Trials of Endarterectomy for Symptomatic Carotid Stenosis Lancet 361:107-116, Rothwell,P.M.,et al, 2003 See this aricle in Pubmed Article Abstract Re-analysis of the trials with the same measurements and definitions yielded highly consistent results. Surgery is of some benefit for patients with 50-69% symptomatic stenosis, and highly beneficial for those with 70% symptomatic stenosis or greater but without near-occlusion. Benefit in patients with carotid near-occlusion is marginal in the short-term and uncertain in the long-term.
