What are the long-term outcomes after using stenting versus endarterectomy for treating symptomatic carotid stenosis?
The International Carotid Stenting Study (ICSS) randomised trial showed that there are long-term outcomes after stenting versus endarterectomy for treatment of symptomatic carotid stenosis. According to the study, stenting can be as safe and effective as endarterectomy in the long-term. However, further research is needed to determine which treatment option is best for each patient.
