Abstract

Carotid endarterectomy clearly benefits high stroke-risk patients, but its value for asymptomatic patients is still being debated. If a high exposure is necessary for redo procedures or distal aneurysms, mandibular subluxation and styloidectomy may be required. Perioperative mortality and morbidity are acceptably low. Restenosis occurs in few patients.
