According to the 2017 European Society for Vascular Surgery guidelines, carotid endarterectomy should (Class IIa; Level of Evidence: B) or carotid artery stenting may be considered (Class IIb; Level of Evidence: B) in the presence of one or more clinical\/imaging characteristics that may be associated with an increased risk of late ipsilateral stroke (e.g., silent embolic infarcts on brain computed tomography\/magnetic resonance imaging, progression in the severity of ACS, a history of contralateral transient ischemic attack\/stroke, microemboli detection on transcranial Doppler, etc.), provided documented perioperative stroke\/death rates are &lt;3% and the patient\u2019s life expectancy is &gt;5 years. Besides these clinical\/imaging characteristics, there are additional individual, ethnic\/racial or social factors that should probably be evaluated in the decision process regarding the optimal management of these patients, such as individual patient needs\/patient choice, patient compliance with best medical treatment, patient sex, culture, race\/ethnicity, age and comorbidities, as well as improvements in imaging\/operative techniques\/outcomes. The present multispecialty position paper will present the rationale why the management of patients with ACS may need to be individualized.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.5853\/jos.2020.04273","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2021,6,1]],"date-time":"2021-06-01T04:22:53Z","timestamp":1622521373000},"page":"202-212","update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.5853\/crossmark_policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":32,"title":["Management of Patients with Asymptomatic Carotid Stenosis May Need to Be Individualized: A Multidisciplinary Call for Action"],"prefix":"10.5853","volume":"23","author":[{"given":"Kosmas I.","family":"Paraskevas","sequence":"first","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Dimitri P.","family":"Mikhailidis","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Hediyeh","family":"Baradaran","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Alun H.","family":"Davies","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Hans-Henning","family":"Eckstein","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Gianluca","family":"Faggioli","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Jose Fernandes e","family":"Fernandes","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Ajay","family":"Gupta","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Mateja K.","family":"Jezovnik","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Stavros K.","family":"Kakkos","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Niki","family":"Katsiki","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"M.
