Carotid endarterectomy (CEA) is not necessarily beneficial in all patients with symptomatic high-grade (>/=70%) internal carotid artery (ICA) stenosis. Independent risk factors modulate both the individual stroke risk under medical treatment and the combined stroke and death risk after CEA. Endovascular stenting of symptomatic ICA stenosis may be an alternative to CEA in patients with a balanced surgical risk/benefit ratio.
