Description of intervention(s) / exposure
Carotid Endarterectomy
Patients observed in this study are those with unilateral and or bilateral carotid artery stenosis and/or occlusion. They underwent either Carotid endarterectomy or Carotid artery stenting, performed by one primary surgeon. The decision to offer carotid endarterectomy vs carotid artery stenting was based on the surgeons clinical assessment of the patient.

All patients recruited will have had their procedures performed at Hollywood Private Hospital, Nedlands, WA or Royal Perth Hospital, Perth, WA between the years 2006 and 2018.
All patients have been followed at 3 and 6 months with imaging and in person at 1 year post op by the same primary surgeon in his rooms.

Statistical methods / analysis
The primary end point is the evidence of new ischaemic lesions on postoperative DW-MRI. Continuous variables will be expressed as the mean and standard deviation. Categoric data will be compared using the fisher exact test and summarized as absolute frequencies and percentages. An unpaired student t-test will be used to compare continuous variables between the two cohorts and statistical significance is defined as p<0.5.
Binary regression models to compare DW-MRI measures between the two groups will be used. Interactions between the effect of intervention type on the primary outcome measure and selected variables (age, symptomatic status, stent type) will be investigated and adjusted for any significant imbalances in baseline characteristic.
