title: [Early and late results following 244 reconstructions of the internal carotid artery with contralateral internal carotid occlusion].
abstract: Between December 1974 and March 1985 244 reconstructions of the internal carotid artery with contralateral occlusion were performed. 7.3% of the patients were asymptomatic, 48.4% had typical transient ischemic attacks and 44.3% had a completed stroke. The postoperative mortality was 2.0% and a permanent neurologic deficit occurred in 3.3%. An intraluminal shunt was used in only 5.4%. The long-term survival rate after 5 years was 65.2 +/- 4.8%. In the follow-up period of 103 months 9.2% of the patients had a new stroke.
