Any hospital but: Carotid surgery or stenting can be done in any hospital as long as you have the surgeon with experience to do them , especially for carotid stent you need to pick an institution with large volume because it definately affects outcome , so ask your doctor before you proceed.

Many: Check their website. Carotid surgery is one of the very common procedures with excellent results and long term success. Stenting less indications and less frequent, and higher stroke results.
