Prevention of disabling and fatal strokes by successful carotid endarterectomy
This study of 3120 asymptomatic people with about a 70% narrowing or more of the carotid artery found that endarterectomy about halved the risk of a stroke over a 5 year period, from 12% to 6%.
Lancet. 2004 May 8;363(9420):1491-502.
