In 1991, the European Carotid Surgery Trial (ECST) and the North American Symptomatic Carotid Endarterectomy Trial (NASCET) demonstrated that carotid endarterectomy (CEA), in addition to best medical therapy, significantly reduces ipsilateral stroke in patients with high-grade (70 per cent or more) carotid artery stenosis compared with best medical therapy alone. In 1995, the Asymptomatic Carotid Atherosclerosis Study demonstrated that CEA was of benefit in asymptomatic patients with stenosis greater than 60 per cent. The aim of this paper was to examine how the practice and outcome of CEA have changed since publication of these data.
