title: [Endarterectomy in arteriosclerotic stenosis of the internal carotid artery].
abstract: The efficacy of carotid endarterectomy (CE) was estimated in 50 patients with stenosis of the internal carotid artery due to atherosclerosis. In addition to neurological investigations, all the patients were subjected to USDG of the head vessels, cerebral angiography and CT of the brain. Patients with the signs of cerebral circulation disorders or those who suffered ischemic brain stroke with a reversible neurological deficit were the most prospective candidates for CE. According to the cerebral angiography data, the degree of stenosis ranged from 50 to 90%. Surgical intervention was performed within different times after derangement of brain circulation, most frequently from 3 months to 1 year. The overwhelming majority of the patients suffered operations without any complications. The lethality amounted to 4% (because of acute cardiovascular failure and myocardial infarction). The total mortality and morbidity due to brain stroke were 5.9%. Indications for carotid endarterectomy in stenosis of the ICA are under consideration.
