Why the study?
Is a selective imaging strategy using DUS and CEMRA more cost-effective than alternative strategies for identifying severe carotid stenosis in recently symptomatic patients?
Is a selective imaging strategy using DUS and CEMRA more cost-effective than alternative strategies for identifying severe carotid stenosis in recently symptomatic patients?
A selective diagnostic strategy using DUS and CEMRA is the most cost-effective approach for identifying severe carotid stenosis prior to endarterectomy, whereas routine DSA is not cost-effective.

Supports selective DUS+CEMRA imaging as potentially cost-effective for carotid stenosis; modeling leaves open need for prospective validation.
