Clinical/methodical issue: Therapy of carotid stenosis should be based on an accurate assessment of the stenosis and a differentiation between symptomatic and asymptomatic patients. Standard radiological methods: According to current guidelines carotid artery stenting (CAS) can be considered as an established therapeutic alternative to carotid endarterectomy (CEA). Methodical innovations: For the therapy of carotid stenosis CAS has become established as a minimally invasive alternative to CEA because the complication rate has been reduced due to growing experience, technical innovations and external quality assessment. Performance: The CAS procedure should be performed in centers with documented complication rates of < 3 % for asymptomatic and < 6 % for symptomatic stenoses. Achievements: Overall there are no significant differences between CAS and CEA in the treatment of carotid stenosis concerning the secondary prophylactic effect. Practical recommendations: Ideally an interdisciplinary approach should be chosen for the therapy regime. Revascularization of asymptomatic stenoses should be considered critically as these patients might profit from optimized conservative medicinal therapy. © 2013 Springer-Verlag Berlin Heidelberg.
