AB  - Carotid  stenosis  is  caused  by  plaque  formation  that  can  lead  to  (1)  narrowing  of  both  carotid  arteries;  and  (2)  emboli,  both  of  which  can  result  in  transient  ischemic  attacks  and  stroke.  Carotid  endarterectomy  (CEA)  is  a  prophylactic  procedure  used  to  decrease  the  risk  of  stroke  in  patients  with  significant  atherosclerotic  occlusive  disease  of  the  carotid  arteries.  In  asymptomatic  patients,  the  risk  of  stroke  is  5%  per  year,  but  in  symptomatic  patients  with  a  history  of  a  TIA,  the  risk  is  doubled  at  10%  per  year.
