Abstract
In patients with carotid stenosis, both the severity of the stenosis as well as the plaque morphology influence the likelihood of future transient ischemic attack or stroke. In general, severely stenotic lesions are presumed to have a higher embolic potential than moderately stenotic lesions. Carotid intervention is indicated in patients with both moderate and severe stenosis with related cerebrovascular symptoms. However, the effect of the degree of carotid stenosis in symptomatic patients upon the outcome of carotid intervention has not been extensively studied.
