Key result
Surgical and endovascular approaches to treat carotid artery stenosis aim to manage extracranial manifestations such as tinnitus in addition to reducing stroke rates.
Why the study?
Does surgical or endovascular treatment of carotid artery stenosis improve tinnitus in patients with significant internal carotid artery stenosis?

Vessel Plus review on vascular diseases leaves open optimal therapies; further RCTs needed before practice change.
Carotid artery diseases can result in many extracranial manifestations.Tinnitus is a recognised symptom and has long been correlated with significant internal carotid artery stenosis.It has been largely classified into pulsatile and non-pulsatile types with variable management approaches and prognoses.Surgical and endovascular approaches to treat carotid artery stenosis have not only aimed to reduce stroke rates but also to manage such symptoms.The clinical and cognitive evidence of such practices are broad and managed in a combined spectrum with otolaryngologists.This literature review aims to focus on current evidence and practice with vascular surgeons on the importance of dealing with tinnitus in managing carotid artery stenosis.
