Overview

Observed rates warrant caution in asymptomatic carotid stenosis; leaves open net benefit versus medical therapy alone.

Structured PICO

P
Population
73 patients undergoing 80 internal carotid artery endarterectomies, and a concomitant cohort of 116 patients with 79 asymptomatic carotid stenoses
I
Intervention
Carotid endarterectomy
O
Outcome
Incidence of restenosis postoperatively (measured by Doppler ultrasonography) and risk of transient neurologic deficit

The study demonstrates a 12.5% restenosis rate after carotid endarterectomy and a 3% risk of transient neurologic deficit in asymptomatic carotid stenosis.
