As treatment for cervical carotid artery stenosis, medical treatment, carotid endarterectomy (CEA), and percutaneous transluminal angioplasty (PTA) with/without stenting are known. In this report, we review the history and current status of these treatments. Comparison between CEA and PTA/stenting is further discussed based on recent clinical reports and evidence.

Carotid artery atherosclerotic disease impacts over 2 million Americans annually. Since the advent of the carotid endarterectomy by Debakey in 1953, the surgical management of carotid artery stenosis has prevented cerebrovascular accidents. The technology utilized to manage carotid artery stenosis continued to evolve with the utilization of carotid artery stenting in 1989 and more recently transcarotid artery revascularization (TCAR). This review discusses the modern management of carotid artery stenosis with an emphasis on transcarotid artery revascularization (TCAR) and reversal of flow for reversal of flow for embolic protection.
