Carotid endarterectomy for symptomatic carotid stenosis.

CONCLUSIONS: Endarterectomy was of some benefit for participants with 50% to 69% symptomatic stenosis (moderate-quality evidence), and highly beneficial for those with 70% to 99% stenosis without near-occlusion (moderate-quality evidence). We found no benefit in people with carotid near-occlusion (high-quality evidence). PMID: 28590505 [PubMed - as supplied by publisher]
