Background and Purpose-- Carotid endarterectomy (CEA) is an important method of stroke prevention, but its usage in Canada is not well known. The indications for CEA have been well informed by the recent clinical trials, but the impact of this information on the rate and regional variation in the rate of CEA is unknown. This study sought to determine the rate and the regional variation in the rate of CEA in Canada, its provinces, and census divisions for 1994-1997.
