Long term outcomes after carotid endarterectomy: The experience of an average volume surgeon
World Neurosurgery Jun 28, 2018
Nayan L, et al. - In this study, a single neurosurgeon’s experience with carotid endarterectomy (CEA) was reviewed focusing on long-term outcomes. Primary closure of the arteriotomy was performed in most procedures (99.0%).

Hence they recommend considering this procedure the gold-standard against which other revascularization modalities should be evaluated.
