[Results in microsurgical carotid artery endarterectomy].
100 consecutive carotid endarterectomies were performed by a microscopic technique with monitoring of cerebral perfusion by transcranial Doppler sonography and EEG. No additional cerebral deficits occurred in this series. Perioperative mortality due to medical complications occurred in 2 instances. During the average follow-up period of 15 months, 1 patient suffered a lethal cerebral infarction ipsilateral to the operated carotid artery and 1 patient a contralateral minor stroke. 2 patients died from unrelated causes during follow-up.
