Carotid endarterectomy (CEA) reduces the risk of stroke in patients with severe stenosis of the internal carotid artery. However, the cost implications of this procedure have not yet been satisfactorily addressed. The objective of this systematic review was to critically appraise the studies addressing the economic implications of CEA and the associated preoperative arterial imaging.
