  • Title: [Treatment of arteriosclerotic carotid stenosis: an overview].
    Author: Struffert T, Grunwald I, Roth C, Reith W.
    Journal: Radiologe; 2004 Oct; 44(10):936-45. PubMed ID: 15455206.
    Abstract:
    Endarterectomy for extracranial carotid stenosis has proven to be the method of choice for symptomatic patients suffering from ischemia (NASCET, ECST). The effectivity of the operation for asymptomatic stenosis seems to be likely since the publication of the first results of the ACST trial. The safety and efficiency of carotid stenting has not been proven so far and has to be evaluated in randomized trials comparing surgery and endovascular treatment. We provide an overview of the current trials and try to define the role of carotid stenting.
