Carotid artery disease, a significant cause of stroke, was linked to embolization in the 1950s. Early treatment methods like carotid endarterectomy reduced stroke risk, but recent studies show that intensive medical management now rivals surgery. Stenting with emboli protection is effective for high-risk patients, and new technologies like TCAR and advanced imaging continue to evolve treatment options for carotid stenosis.
