Abstract
Atherosclerotic disease of the carotid arteries is responsible for a significant portion of ischemic strokes. Carotid endarterectomy (CEA) is currently the accepted standard of treatment for patients with severe symptomatic carotid stenosis. In the past few years, however, carotid angioplasty and stenting (CAS) has emerged as a potential alternative endovascular treatment strategy for this disorder, and many randomizes studies showed that CAS is not inferior to CEA, however data from these studies do not justify a blind enthusiasm for CAS and it is better to look for both CAS and CEA as compementary procedures and each case should be evaluated on an individual basis
