Carotid stenosis is a risk factor of ischaemic stroke and has an increasing prevalence with age. Stroke risk under optimised medical therapy, as well as recommendations of carotid artery endarterectomy/stenting, as therapy in high risk carotid stenosis, are discussed in consideration of recent research results.
