Endarterectomy Versus Stenting in Patients With Symptomatic Severe Carotid Stenosis - 2

Carotid endarterectomy is a surgical procedure used to reduce the risk of stroke due to carotid artery stenosis. During an endarterectomy, the surgeon opens the artery and removes the plaque.

Carotid artery stenting is an endovascular procedure in which a stent is deployed in the lumen of the carotid artery to treat narrowing of the carotid artery and reduce the risk of stroke.
