摘要
Endarterectomy reduces the risk of stroke in selected patients with carotid artery stenosis, and the benefit is related to the degree of stenosis. Although the randomized trials demonstrating this benefit measured the degree of stenosis with conventional catheter angiography, many physicians are relying on noninvasive tests to select patients for surgery. Technologic advancement in this area is outpacing the availability of quality data supporting the clinical utility of the newer noninvasive tests.
