Utilized all recent data comparing stenting with endarterectomy
•
September 2011 Published independent guidelines
•
CEA is the first line treatment for most symtomatic patients with 50-
99%
•
Asymptomatic patients with 60-99% stenosis.
•
The perioperative risk of stroke or death must be <3% in
asymptomatic patients.
•
Stenting should be reserved for symptomatic patients who are high
risk for CEA for anatomic or medical reasons.

Stenting should not be done in asymptomatic patients.
•
Low risk should receive endarterectomy
