Task: Answer Verification
Input (English): Question: Does very urgent carotid endarterectomy increase the procedural risk?

Given the fact that ruptured plaques with neurological symptoms carry the highest risk of a recurrent ischemic event in the first 2 days, treating patients as soon as possible to offer the highest benefit in stroke prevention is recommended.
Output (English): no
