The significance of non-ST-elevation myocardial infarction (NSTEMI) after carotid endarterectomy or carotid angioplasty and stent placement is unknown. We performed this study to identify the frequency of NSTEMI and impact on outcomes related to carotid endarterectomy or carotid artery stent placement in patients treated in a large national cohort.
