Abstract
Stroke is one of the leading causes of death in Russia and the world, and carotid stenosis is the leading cause of
ischemic strokes. The number of Russians who suffered a stroke exceeds 1 million people, 30% of them are people
under retirement age. Of these, only 25% of patients return to work. Male mortality from stroke in Russia exceeds
that in the Nordic countries by 2 times, in North America – by 8 times. In patients with symptomatic stenosis of the
carotid arteries, prevention of stroke is carotid endarterectomy or stenting of the carotid arteries, as well as optimal
drug therapy. The review article is devoted to the comparative evaluation of the results of carotid endarterectomy,
stenting and drug therapy according to various randomized studies.
