Carotid endarterectomy (CE) surgery for asymptomatic patients remains controversial despite hundreds of published studies and recent randomized trials. Safety and efficacy are assessed using a quantitative synthesis method derived from meta-analysis and a “critical multiplist” inference approach. In addition, multivariate analyses reveal that use of a surgical shunt could further improve CE outcomes. Methods are examined for both their “confirmatory” and “exploratory” value.
