Carotid artery stenting (CAS) is a popular treatment option for carotid artery stenosis. Numerous studies have suggested that the work of Kerber et al. in 1980 was an important cornerstone for CAS. The primary objectives of the present study are to identify the historical ischolar_mains of CAS and show that carotid endarterectomy (CEA) is highly relevant to CAS. For this, 69,570 references cited by 3380 articles were analysed. There were nine reference publication year spectroscopy peaks ranging from 1980 to 2011, and the publication by Kerber et al. was identified from the first peak. Nine key references were identified, all of which reported treatment outcomes or procedures of CAS and/or CEA.
