Due to recent advances in medical therapy, the current first-line treatment for patients with asymptomatic carotid artery stenosis is medical. For patients with symptomatic stenosis, however, arterial interventions including carotid endarterectomy (CEA) or carotid artery stenting (CAS) are often indicated. It is important to understand the characteristics of CEA and CAS, including the advantages and disadvantages of each. For patients with severe carotid artery stenosis, CEA has been shown to be more effective than medical treatment, and CAS is shown to be not inferior to CEA, due to advances in available devices. According to the Japanese guidelines for the management of stroke, CEA is the first-line intervention in patients with severe carotid artery stenosis, and CAS is a reasonable alternative for select high-risk patients. In the real world, treatment selection is based on preoperative evaluation of plaque properties and patient characteristics. In this article, preoperative evaluation, treatment selection, and postoperative management are discussed.
