Risk of Stroke in the Distribution of an Asymptomatic Carotid Artery
Lancet 345:209-212, Rothwell,P.M.,et al, 1995
See this aricle in Pubmed

Article Abstract
Given these low stroke risks,the potential benefit of endarterectomy for asymptomatic carotid stenosis is small.Population screening is not justified and endarterectomy for asymptomatic carotid stenosis should only be performed in the context of well organised randomised controlled trials.
