title: [Assessing the effect of prosthesis of the brachiocephalic trunk].
abstract: The early and long-term results of truncus brachiocephalicus prosthetics in its atherosclerotic occlusions are analysed. EEG mapping, radioisotopic examination of cerebral circulation before and after surgery, clinical examination were performed for evaluation of effectiveness and safety of surgery. The rate of mortality was 6.6%. The technical recommendations are provided. All the patients, who were discharged after surgery, are alive for 2.6 +/- 0.3 years. No cases of recurrence of cerebral circulation disorders were observed. In 100% cases the grafts were patent.
