Question

Further research should include details of patient selection and report longer term outcomes.

Any explanatory notes
(if applicable)

There is still uncertainty about this procedure's use in asymptomatic extracranial carotid stenosis. Short-term evidence suggests that the risk of disabling stroke is similar in people
who have this procedure compared with people who have conventional surgery. But more long-term evidence is needed. More research is also needed to identify which people
might benefit most from this procedure. So, it is recommended only with special arrangements.
