title: Intraoperative assessment of carotid endarterectomy.
abstract: In our experience intraoperative arteriography in carotid endarterectomy is very effective in detecting residual small lesions after surgery. There were no neurosurgical complications due to arteriography. The interpretation of the surgical results is objective since the criteria are the same as those used to assess preoperative arteriography. Different intraoperative assessment methods to control carotid endarterectomy are also analysed.
