ACST-2 seeks to compare these procedures and their benefit in stroke prevention. ACST-2 is currently recruiting patients from all aver the world through very experienced collaborators in many different countries. The trial hopes to recruit many thousands of patients over the next few years for a meaningful comparison between surgery and stenting.
