Abstract
Consideration of the elderly patient's symptom status and anticipated stroke risk with best medical therapy, perioperative risk, life expectancy, medical comorbidities, and current quality of life is critical in deciding whether to recommend carotid endarterectomy. This recommendation can only be made with knowledge of the surgeon's rates of perioperative complications.
