[Indications for carotid endarterectomy and its outcomes].
The paper analyzes a correlation between the sonographic and morphological characteristics of the structure of atherosclerotic plaques and the severity of cerebrovascular insufficiency. This significantly expands indications for surgical treatment in patients with carotid atherosclerosis. In the authors' opinion, not only the degree of carotid stenosis, but also the structure of a plaque is an important criterion for assessing indications for surgical treatment. The outcomes of carotid endarterectomy are comparatively evaluated in relation to the mode of carotid plastic repair. A role of intraoperative cerebral oximetry is shown.
