Abstract
Before writing this commentary, I performed a PubMed search using the terms “carotid endarterectomy” and “women” and retrieved 844 results. The current excellent study is one of the first to report the outcomes of transcarotid artery revascularization stratified by sex.1 However, the outcomes of carotid interventions for stroke prevention in women are still a matter of debate. Although stroke is the fifth leading cause of death in the United States, it remains the third leading cause among African-American and Hispanic women.
