Summary

There is debate on the natural history of asymptomatic severe carotid artery stenosis. Previous studies conducted more than 20 years ago revealed the benefit of carotid endarterectomy compared with medical therapy only on the stroke prevention. However, today it seems that the current medical regimen can reduce the cerebral ischemic event rate in patients with asymptomatic severe carotid artery stenosis to less than 1% per year, making it questionable to choose the surgical treatment.
