, The NASCET (north American symptomatic carotid endarterectomy trial) used the following arterial
graphic criteria/criterium to classify internal carotid artery disease: ✔Correct Answer-Diameter
percentage stenosis calculated by diving the minimal diameter by the diameter of the unstenosed
distal internal carotid artery.
