NCT02260453

Brief Summary

The purpose of this study is to evaluate the potential benefit of systematic preoperative coronary angiography followed by selective coronary artery revascularization on the incidence of myocardial infarction (MI) in patients without a history of coronary artery disease (CAD) and undergoing carotid endarterectomy (CEA).
