Sažetak

A brief outline of the relevant literaturewith focus on clinical outcome is given.With today´s knowledge, CEA(CarotidEndarterectomy)within 3–14 days after symptom onset remains the gold standard of treatment for symptomatic ICA stenosis >50% NASCET.
CAS (Carotid Artery Stenting) may be considered for patients<70 years of age, patients with restenosis after CEA, after neck radiation and in cases of difficult anatomy for surgery. After extensive information about the potential risks of the two methods also the patients´s choice has to be considered.
