[Restoration of blood flow in the external carotid artery].
The external carotid artery revascularization procedures were performed in 19 cases. Fourteen patients had ischemic stroke history. Ten patients had occluded the ipsilateral internal carotid artery to the stenosed external carotid artery. Six patients had occluded the common as well as internal carotid artery on the same side. Positive neurologic changes were obtained in 73.7% of the operated patients. The external carotid artery revascularization procedures are recommended in cases when the ipsilateral internal carotid artery is occluded.
