Safety and effectiveness of carotid endarterectomy for symptomatic high-risk mild extracranial carotid stenosis: preliminary results from an Italian multicentric study
Despite the limited number of patients included in the study, CEA has been shown to be safe and effective in preventing recurrent neurological ischemic events in highly selected patients with mild carotid high-embolic-risk plaque stenosis treated at high-volume institutions. Further studies are required to identify the most appropriate diagnostic tools and the precise carotid plaque features associated with high-embolic risk.
