[Late results of reconstructive surgery for supraaortic occlusions (author's transl)].
Internal carotid endarterectomy is an effective and longlasting means of preventing cerebrovascular accidents. After 1-16 years it was entirely successful in 97.8% of asymptomatic patients; 79.3% of patients with transient ischemic attacks experienced no further symptoms, 13% were improved. In patients with acute strokes 20% were cured, 70% improved, and 10% unchanged. The follow-up of patients with completed stroke yielded no further neurological deficit. The late results 1-14 years ater reconstruction of the other supraaortic vessels were good in 92,5% of cases.
