Overview

Arterial imaging guides CEA selection to balance stroke prevention and risk; leaves open optimal modality comparisons in contemporary practice.

Structured PICO

P
Population
Patients with severe symptomatic carotid artery stenosis who are potential candidates for carotid endarterectomy
I
Intervention
Arterial imaging methods for preoperative evaluation and candidate selection
O
Outcome
Prevention of ischemic stroke

This review discusses the critical role of arterial imaging methods in appropriately selecting candidates for carotid endarterectomy to maximize stroke prevention while minimizing surgical risks.
