[Indications for and results of treatment of carotid artery stenosis].
The authors discuss own experience with the treatment of carotid artery stenosis. Diagnostic principles and indications to surgical treatment, technique of block anesthesia, an operation and obtained results are also discussed. Internal carotid artery stenosis was treated surgically in 90 patients within 1985-1988. Block anesthesia enabling intraoperational control of patients' consciousness was used in 72 cases. Satisfactory early results were noted in 92.9% of patients. Two patients died after surgery whereas 5 patients suffered from neurological complications. Favourable late results (follow-up period ranged from 6 to 48 months) were noted in 64 out of 70 patients which reported to clinical examination (91.4%).
