AB - SUMMARY: In Part 1 of this review, the definition, terminology, and diagnosis of carotid near-occlusion were presented. Carotid near-occlusions (all types) showed a lower risk of stroke than other severe stenoses. However, emerging evidence suggests that the near-occlusion prognosis with full collapse (higher risk) differs from that without full collapse (lower risk). This systematic review presents what is known about carotid near-occlusion. In this second part, the foci are prognosis and treatment, pathophysiology, the current confusion about near-occlusion, and areas in need of future improvement.AbbreviationsARRabsolute risk reductionCCAcommon carotid arteryECAexternal carotid arteryPCAposterior cerebral arteryECSTEuropean Carotid Surgery Trial
