Safety and Efficacy of Endovascular Treatment of Carotid Artery Stenosis Compared with Carotid Endarterectomy Stroke 36:905-911, Coward,L.J., et al, 2005 See this aricle in Pubmed Article Abstract No significant difference in the major risks of treatment was found by the wide confidence intervals indicate that it is not possible to exclude a difference in favor of one treatment. Minor complication rates favor endovascular treatment. There is currently insufficient evidence to support a widespread change in clinical practice away from recommending carotid endarterectomy as the treatment of choice for suitable carotid artery stenosis. Patients suitable for carotid endarterectomy should only be offered stenting within the ongoing randomized trials of stenting versus surgery.
