Welcome to the the European Carotid Surgery Trial 2 (ECST-2) website.

ECST-2 (ISRCTN 97744893) is an international randomised trial investigating the optimal treatment of patients with symptomatic or asymptomatic moderate or severe carotid stenosis at low or intermediate risk of future stroke. The trial compares the risks and benefits of treatment by modern optimized medical management alone versus the addition of immediate carotid surgery (or stenting) to optimised medical management.

The initial phase of The European Carotid Sur gery Trial 2 was funded by the N ational Institute for Health Research (NIHR) under its Research for Patient Benefit Programme. The trial is currently funded by the Stroke Association, UK.
