When breaking the news of a need to have a surgical intervention due to ICA stenosis, the physician should strongly refer to the value of human life and health. The message should arise from external (in the case of women) or internal (in the case of men) motivation to undergo surgery, and enhance the patient's conviction that the disease should be considered a challenge which must be taken to reverse their unfavorable situation and improve life quality.
