Popis:	In the absence of symptoms, management is not clear-cut; indeed, are symptoms truly absent or merely unacknowledged? The workup must carefully balance risks associated with carotid endarterectomy against risks of nonsurgical treatment. Psychosocial factors are an important part of the balance; some patients prefer to live with the risk of stroke from essentially untreated disease.
