The elderly population has the highest risk for developing stroke and the annual death rate is some 394/100,000 population. Moreover, the elderly are the fastest growing segment in our society. In carefully selected patients carotid endarterectomy may provide to prophylaxis against stroke. With a careful selection, acceptable low operative motality and morbidity rates may be achieved, comparable to the 4.3% and the 2.3% of the Veterans Affair and ACAS studies, in which the patients' mean ages were 64.1 and 67 years respectively.
