title: [Role of surgery in the prevention of cerebral ischemic accidents].
abstract: The indications for surgery in the prevention of cerebral ischaemic accidents secondary to carotid artery disease depend on the degree of stenosis and the symptomatic or a symptomatic nature of the lesions. The benefit of surgery is demonstrated for symptomatic stenoses greater than 70%? The benefit of surgery is probable but not yet demonstrated for symptomatic stenoses between 30% and 70% and for asymptomatic stenoses greater than 70%.
