Statin Neuroprotection and Carotid Endarterectomy: Safety, Feasibility and Outcomes
The investigators hypothesize that pre-operative statin use is neuroprotective at maximal doses. The goals are to determine the safety, feasibility, and efficacy of maximizing statin doses for two weeks (12-18 days) prior to CEA…
