Abstract

|
Carotid arterial disease is the most common extracranial origin of brain infarction and accounts for about 10-20% of stroke and 50% of transient ischemic attacks (TIAs). Significant changes in the treatment of this disease have occurred over past few years and relative importance of carotid surgery is on the increase in the prevention of ischemic stroke. In this article, we aim to review the basics and the recent controversies of carotid endarterectomy.
