Anthony J. Furlan (2006) conducted an editorial in atherosclerotic stenosis of the internal carotid artery. Carotid-artery stenting vs. Carotid endarterectomy was evaluated. Carotid-artery stenting has uncertain efficacy and safety compared with carotid endarterectomy in patients at risk for stroke from atherosclerotic stenosis of the internal carotid artery.
