| Abstract |
Four ophthalmic manifestations make up a substantial proportion of the indications for carotid endarterectomy (CE). They include transient monocular visual loss (TMVL), ocular ischemic syndrome (OIS), retinal artery occlusion (RAO), and asymptomatic Hollenhorst plaque. Critical review of the literature shows that the evidence to support the efficacy of CE in these four settings is tenuous. |
