Abstract
Stroke is a major cause of disability in the ageing population. Atherosclerotic carotid artery stenos is an important cause of stroke, which can be prevented by carotid endarterectomy. However, endarterectomy requires an incision in the neck and carries a small risk of operative stroke. Stinting, a new end vascular method of treating carotid stenos is, avoids some of the discomforts and complications of surgery. However, stinting also risks procedural stroke and may have unacceptable incidence of rest enosis. Evidence is required to inform patients, doctors and providers in the EU when choosing between these treatments. We have therefore started an international randomised trial to compare the risks and benefits of stinting with endarterectomy. A European network of centres will harmonise stinting techniques, safeguard the safety of EU patients thus treated and ensure the trial results are general sable throughout the EU.
