Abstract
- The article looks at medical care related to stroke prevention, focusing on the choice between drug therapy, carotid surgery, and angioplasty with stent implantation for treating people with artery blockages in the neck but as yet no stroke symptoms. It reports that U.S. stent manufacturers, including Abbott Laboratories and Boston Scientific Corp., are pressing for Medicare to cover stents in such cases.
