title: [Endovascular and surgical management of carotid artery restenosis].
abstract: BACKGROUND
  The incidence of recurrent carotid stenosis after primary endarterectomy ranges from 10-34%. We presented our four year experience and comparing reoperation versus endovascular treatment.
  
  
  METHODS
  In period from 2001 to 2005, 50 patients, 37 men and 13 women, were treated surgically and endovascular due to restenosis.
  
  
  RESULTS
  There were no minor or major stroke, death and myocardial infarction periprocedural and in first 30 days in either group. In endovascular group one patients 3.17% had transient ischemic attack and two patients 11.76% in surgical group. One patient died from myocardial infraction in follow up in surgical group. There were no restenosis > or = 50% in endovascular group, two patients have restenosis > or = 50% in surgical group.
  
  
  CONCLUSIONS
  Endovascular treatment of carotid artery restenosis represents a safe and efficient way of treatment, connected with minor number of serious complications than redo operation.
