This book is the fruit of an experience started at the Cleveland Clinic and continued on both sides of the Atlantic. The book is an invaluable tool in the everyday care of patients with carotid artery stenosis and has the unique feature of melting the view points of the interventionalist and the neurologist. State-of-the-art knowledge is conveyed in a practical way by a concise text, a limited number of references, and abundant tables and colour figures. While the book is suited for primary care and internal medicine physicians with interest in vascular disease, as well as for specialists caring for patients with atherosclerosis such as cardiologists, neurologists, and angiologists, it is a must for interventionalists who perform the procedure or plan to start in the future.
