Get 2nd opinion : Other than medical therapy (which would be dual anti platelet + statin) and endartectomy, there is also catheter based treatment option (that is thrombectomy and stenting) in the hands of an experienced intwrvwntional cardiologist. Without knowing more about the plaque morphology, hard to advise. Carotid endartectomy is high risk vascular surgery. Pls obtain opinion U.S.interventional cardiologist
