Carotid stenosis can either have symptoms (i.e., be symptomatic), or be found by a doctor in the absence of symptoms (asymptomatic) - and the risk-reduction from endarterectomy is greater for symptomatic than asymptomatic patients.

[6] A new generation of double-layer stents is currently being developed to reduce the risk of stroke during or after the procedure.
