Abstract
Atherosclerotic disease of the cervical part of ICA is responsible for 20–40% of ischemic strokes [1]. The prevalence of significant asymptomatic carotid stenosis in the general population varies from 0% to 3.1%. [2] Most patients are generally asymptomatic and have a risk of stroke of 1.5% per year and 7.5% per 5 years [3]. Symptomatic carotid artery stenosis usually presents with neurological dysfunctions in the form of transient ischemic attacks, amaurosis fugax, and various forms of stroke. These patients have an increased risk of recurrent cerebrovascular events.
