The first paper of 2026, is Brott TG, Howard G, Lal BK, et al; CREST-2 Investigators. Medical Management and Revascularization for Asymptomatic Carotid Stenosis. N Engl J Med. 2025 Nov 21. doi: 10.1056/NEJMoa2508800. Epub ahead of print. PMID: 41269206.
The management of asymptomatic high-grade carotid artery stenosis varies across countries, and it remains unclear whether revascularisation combined with intensive medical therapy is superior to intensive medical therapy alone.
