Summary

This study tests whether performing carotid artery surgery within 72 hours of a mini-stroke or minor stroke is safer and more effective than waiting 4 to 15 days. About 456 participants with a blocked neck artery will be randomly assigned to one of two timing groups. The goal is to see if faster surgery reduces the risk of another stroke, heart attack, or death within 90 days.
