TI  - Screening for asymptomatic carotid artery stenosis: U.S. Preventive Services Task 
      Force recommendation statement.
PG  - 356-62
LID - 10.7326/M14-1333 [doi]
AB  - DESCRIPTION: Update of the 2007 U.S. Preventive Services Task Force (USPSTF) 
      recommendation on screening for carotid artery stenosis. METHODS: The USPSTF 
      commissioned a systematic review to synthesize the evidence on the accuracy of 
      screening tests, externally validated risk-stratification tools, the benefits of 
      treatment of asymptomatic carotid artery stenosis with carotid endarterectomy 
      (CEA) or carotid angioplasty and stenting (CAAS), the benefits from medications 
      added to current standard medical therapy, and the harms of screening and 
      treatment with CEA or CAAS. POPULATION: This recommendation applies to adults 
      without a history of transient ischemic attack, stroke, or other neurologic signs 
      or symptoms. RECOMMENDATION: The USPSTF recommends against screening for 
      asymptomatic carotid artery stenosis in the general adult population. (D 
      recommendation).
