Abstract

In the current clinical situation, no surgery or procedure has been authorized for the treatment for intracranial artery stenosis, and hence, the importance of treatment methods for extracranial carotid atherosclerosis cannot be overstated. Moreover, as two methods—carotid endarterectomy (CEA) and carotid angioplasty and stenting (CAS)—have been concurrently developing, confusion often arises as to the selection of appropriate approach to be used in each case. In this chapter, we analyze the results of clinical trials on CEA and CAS used to treat carotid stenosis and present information essential to the understanding of the current state of research in this field, in conjunction with experience-based treatment suggestions.
