Carotid endarterectomy itself can cause strokes, so to be of benefit in preventing strokes over time, the risks for combined 30-day mortality and stroke risk following surgery should be < 3% for asymptomatic people and ≤ 6% for symptomatic people. [1] The carotid artery is the large vertical artery in red.
The surgical mortality of endarterectomy ranges from 1–2% to as much as 10%. Two large randomized clinical trials have demonstrated that carotid surgery done with a 30-day stroke and death risk of 3% or less will benefit asymptomatic people with ≥60% stenosis who are expected to live at least 5 years after surgery.

North American Symptomatic Carotid Endarterectomy Trial (NASCET) 1415: Showed carotid endarterectomy was beneficial in symptomatic patients. Two year stroke rate in patients with > 70% carotid stenosis decreased from 26% to 9%. Two year stroke rate in patients with > 50% decreased from 15% to 9%.

To answer that question, Barnett and colleagues randomly enrolled 2226 patients, 1108 receiving carotid endarterectomy and 1118 receiving medical care alone. In 1998, this clinical trial found that patients with 50%-70% stenosis had a moderate reduction in stroke and death rates, but that patients with less than 50% stenosis did not benefit ...
