Carotid disease: We generally do not recommend surgery for carotid disease without symptoms. If a patient has high degree carotid stenosis and symptoms compatible with that lesion, surgery might be considered. Such surgery would require an experienced and effective surgeon in the procedure. If present in a patient, the discussion of appropriate therapy should take place with the attending Doc.
