pubmed:abstractText |
The efficacy of carotid endarterectomy (CEA) in symptomatic patients with > 70% stenosis is accepted. The stroke risk of asymptomatic patients may not justify surgical intervention. The aim of this study is to use natural history data from a single unit to identify asymptomatic patients who would benefit from CEA.
