BMJ 333:525-527, Fairhead,J.F. and Rothwell,P.M., 2006
See this aricle in Pubmed

Article Abstract
Incidence of symptomatic carotid stenosis increased steeply with age, but, despite good evidence of major benefit from endarterectomy in elderly patients and a willingness to have surgery, there is substantial underinvestigation in routine clinical practice in patients aged >/= 80 with transient ischaemic attack or ischaemic stroke.
