Detailed Description
This is a multicenter, open, randomized controlled trial to evaluate the efficacy and safety of carotid artery stenting/carotid endarterectomy versus best medical treatment for asymptomatic carotid artery stenosis in Chinese population. The study will be conducted at 11 centers and is expected to enroll 1056 patients.

Active Comparator: Carotid Revascularization Carotid Artery Stenting/Carotid endarterectomy + Best Medical Treatment |
Procedure: Carotid Revascularization
Carotid Artery Stenting/Carotid Endarterectomy
Drug: Medical Treatment
Aspirin 100mg/ day plus clopidogrel 75mg/ day for the first three months after enrollment or revascularization, aspirin 100mg/ day after three months, and the statin dose was adjusted according to blood lipids levels. Best medical treatment also includes risk factor control: good lifestyle, smoking cessation, weight control, regular exercise, SBP < 140 mmHg, HDL < 70 mg/dl (1.8mmol/L), and glycemic control. Patients with poor control of risk factors were dynamically adjusted during follow-up.
In addition, patients undergoing CAS received dual antiplatelet therapy for at least 3 to 5 days before surgery, and patients undergoing CEA also received a preoperative oral antiplatelet drug (aspirin 100mg/ day, or clopidogrel 75mg/ day) for at least 3 days after enrollment.

Outcome Measures
Primary Outcome Measures
- Any Periprocedural Stroke, Myocardial Infarction, or Death During1 month Peri-procedural Period, and Postprocedural Ipsilateral Stroke 1 to 12-months. [0 to 12 months]
Composite of any periprocedural stroke (ipsilateral or contralateral; major or minor), myocardial infarction, or death during1 month peri-procedural period, and postprocedural ipsilateral stroke 1 to 12-months.
Secondary Outcome Measures
- Technical success rate [1 day]
Technical success was defined as final residual stenosis less than 30%, TIMI grade 3, and no dissection or thrombus after any endovascular treatment.
- Rate of complications [30 days]
Rate of complications within 30 days, complications include:Cranial nerve and peripheral nerve injury, vascular injury, non cerebral hemorrhage, wound complications as neck incision or related to puncture site, and other (such as anesthesia) complications.
- Incidence of myocardial infarction [30 days]
Incidence of myocardial infarction at 30 days follow up.
- Incidence of ipsilateral stroke [30 days]
Incidence of ipsilateral stroke at 30 days follow up.
- Incidence of death [30 days]
Incidence of death at 30 days follow up.
- Carotid restenosis rate [12 months]
Carotid restenosis was defined as restenosis ≥50% after carotid revascularization, that is, peak systolic velocity ratio (PSVR) ≥2.0 on ultrasound examination.
- Incidence of target lesion revascularization [12 months]
Target lesion revascularization (TLR) is defined as the re-percutaneous intervention or bypass grafting of the target lesion for restenosis or other complications of the target lesion. All TLR should be preclassified as clinically drived or non-clinically drived before the investigator performs angiography again.
- Improvement in cognitive function [30 days]
Cognitive function was assessed by Montreal Cognitive Assessment Scale (MoCA) at 30 days follow up.
- Improvement in cognitive function [30 days]
Cognitive function was assessed by Mini-mental State Examination (MMSE) at 30 days follow up.
- Improvement in cognitive function [12 months]
Cognitive function was assessed by Montreal Cognitive Assessment Scale (MoCA) at 12 months follow up.
- Improvement in cognitive function [12 months]
Cognitive function was assessed by Mini-mental State Examination (MMSE) at 12 months follow up.
