Abstract

Carotid stenosis is an issue of enormous clinical and social relevance, so the scientific literature about this subject is very large. The intent of this review is to make a brief review of this entity to subsequently address it from the point of view of the anaesthesiologist who meets her in the operating room, in order to provide some idea of the impact of this entity, the indication of intervention, the possibilities for them, monitoring during the process and the different plausible anaesthetic techniques.
