Summary of Findings The authors of the letter highlight their concerns about the conduct of one systematic review of new diffusion-weighted imaging lesions after carotid angioplasty and stenting or carotid endarterectomy published in 2008. Namely that the literature searches were insufficient due to only searching PubMed. In addition there was a language restriction to English and no consideration of grey literature.
