Atheromatous carotid stenosis are responsible for one out of 10 cerebral infarcts, posing a major public health problem by their mortality and physical disabilities. Their management involves two aspects: medical treatment and revascularization represented by carotid surgery and carotid angioplasty with stenting. The aim of this work is to compare the two techniques of revascularization in terms of feasibility and complications. Our study is based on a retrospective analysis of 50 cases of carotid stenosis treated either by surgery or carotid angioplasty, collected in the department of peripheral vascular surgery of the Military Hospital Avicenne of Marrakech during the period between January 2011 To December 2015
