Carotid atherosclerosis accounts for approximately 10% of ischemic stroke cases. Multifaceted medical therapy reduces the risk of stroke in patients with carotid stenosis. Revascularization with endarterectomy or stenting can benefit select patients. In recent years, new information has been obtained regarding optimal selection of revascularization candidates. In addition, new concepts have been formulated regarding the relationship between carotid stenosis and vascular cognitive impairment. Finally, the declining rate of stroke with improved medical therapy has led to the launch of new clinical trials to determine the contemporary risk/benefit ratio of revascularization relative to aggressive medical therapy.

Attention Score in Context
This research output has an Altmetric Attention Score of 11. This is our high-level measure of the quality and quantity of online attention that it has received. This Attention Score, as well as the ranking and number of research outputs shown below, was calculated when the research output was last mentioned on 02 May 2025.
All research outputs
#4,535,062
of 34,360,889 outputs
Outputs from JACC
#9,031
of 22,471 outputs
Outputs of similar age
#45,007
of 297,170 outputs
Outputs of similar age from JACC
#100
of 324 outputs
Altmetric has tracked 34,360,889 research outputs across all sources so far. Compared to these this one has done well and is in the 86th percentile: it's in the top 25% of all research outputs ever tracked by Altmetric.
So far Altmetric has tracked 22,471 research outputs from this source. They typically receive a lot more attention than average, with a mean Attention Score of 30.3. This one has gotten more attention than average, scoring higher than 59% of its peers.
Older research outputs will score higher simply because they've had more time to accumulate mentions. To account for age we can compare this Altmetric Attention Score to the 297,170 tracked outputs that were published within six weeks on either side of this one in any source. This one has done well, scoring higher than 84% of its contemporaries.
We're also able to compare this research output to 324 others from the same source and published within six weeks on either side of this one. This one has gotten more attention than average, scoring higher than 69% of its contemporaries.
