The value of carotid endarterectomy in asymptomatic patients with high-grade stenosis is controversial. The objective of this study is to compare the immediate and long-term outcome of patients after carotid endarterectomy for asymptomatic carotid stenosis (greater than 75%) with the reported natural history of patients followed nonoperatively to determine whether carotid endarterectomy reduces the subsequent neurological event rate.
