title: [Surgical treatment of diseases of the brachiocephalic arteries].
abstract: The authors have summarized the experience with surgical treatment of 147 patients with the brachiocephalic arterial pathology. Transient disorders in the cerebral circulation were noted in 54%, chronic vascular cerebral insufficiency--in 15%, ischemic insult and its sequelae--in 19% of the patients. Occlusive-stenotic lesions of the extracranial vessels, aneurysms, tortuosity of the brachiocephalic++ trunk, compression of the carotid arteries by chemodectoma were the indications for operative treatment. When choosing a method for operative intervention, the preference was given to extrathoracic techniques. The positive results were achieved in 90% of the patients.
