Abstract: Restenosis after carotid endarterectomy and carotid artery stenting remains the main complication after both surgical and endovascular treatment of carotid stenosis, with a 2-year restenosis rate of 6-12%. Complex inflammation processes are the cause of early (<2 years) and late (>2 years) restenosis and principal systemic risk factors are female gender, hypertension, diabetes, dyslipidemia, and smoking. Non-procedural treatment includes lifestyle modifications and best medical therapy. The procedural treatment, considered mostly for symptomatic patients, includes different open and endovascular techniques. The management should be personalized according to patient and plaque characteristics.
