Abstract
Adverse events after CEA for asymptomatic disease are comparatively rare. However, surgeon characteristics impact outcome, with the best results offered by high-volume, mid-career, specialty-trained surgeons. Efforts to define the optimal treatment of asymptomatic carotid atherosclerosis must account for the impact of surgeon characteristics on patient outcomes.
