Article Synopsis
- Current guidelines advise against screening for asymptomatic carotid artery stenosis (AsxCS) due to the risk of unnecessary interventions, unlike the strong recommendation for abdominal aortic aneurysm screening.
- A literature analysis reveals that patients with AsxCS are at a high risk for future cardiovascular issues, yet universal screening is not advisable.
- Selective screening for high-risk individuals could be beneficial, focusing on risk factor management and medical therapy to prevent future cardiovascular events rather than identifying candidates for surgery.
