Abstract

Many patients with significant carotid artery stenosis are candidates for endarterectomy, a procedure now proved to reduce the incidence of future stroke and death. In this article, Drs Jaigobin and Perry describe an approach to patients with both symptomatic and asymptomatic carotid stenosis and review current indications for surgical referral. They also emphasize the importance of recognizing and managing concurrent coronary artery disease.
