Abstract
Management of asymptomatic carotid artery stenosis is an important aspect of stroke prevention, however current treatment guidelines are based on clinical trials that largely underrepresented female patients. The objective of this study is to systematically review the evidence for revascularization (in the form of carotid endarterectomy [CEA] or carotid artery stenting [CAS]) and best medical therapy (BMT) for asymptomatic carotid stenosis >60% in female patients with respect to perioperative and long-term (>30 days) rates of stroke and death.
