Abstract: Clinically,carotid atherosclerotic stenosis(CASS)is an important cause of stroke in China.The optimal treatment option for asymptomatic carotid atherosclerotic stenosis(ACAS)has not been conclusive,which is still a hot issue in recent years.With the development of endovascular interventional technique,and patient's higher requirements for recovery speed and comfort level,the carotid artery stenting(CAS)has been used more frequently than carotid endarterectomy(CEA).Therefore,the relative benefit of CAS for the treatment of ACAS requires further evaluation.This paper aims to make a comprehensive review about CAS for the treatment of ACAS,focusing on the indications,efficacy,complications and factors affecting curative efficacy,so as to provide reference for selecting the treatment method of the patients.
