Hybrid Conference | 1 Cat. 1 Tuesday, May 5, 2026 | 6:00 p.m. - 7:30 p.m
The management of carotid artery disease is rapidly evolving, with new evidence and advances in therapy reshaping how clinicians approach treatment decisions. Findings from the CREST-2 trial, along with improvements in medical management and revascularization techniques, are redefining the roles of carotid artery stenting and endarterectomy and highlighting the importance of individualized care.
