Summary:Management of carotid occlusive is currently in a period of transition after more than 10-year period of stability based upon previous randomized trials. Most vascular surgeons have many questions about the data, the plan of CMS to change the NCD (finalized on October 11, 2023), and whether stent-based therapies will replace CEA.
