title: [Carotid endarterectomy and endovascular angioplasty with stenting in patients with atherosclerotic stenoses and occlusions of the internal carotid artery].
abstract: The authors made a comparative assessment of carotid endarterectomy and endovascular angioplasty with stenting in patients with atherosclerotic lesions of the carotid arteries. The authors consider that indications to stenting and carotid endarterectomy are identical in patients with stenose and occlusions of the carotid arteries. Contraindications to angioplasty of carotid arteries are determined. It was shown that angioplasty and stenting in atherosclerotic lesions of the carotid arteries was an effective method with a less number of complications as compared with carotid endarterectomy and are thought to be an adequate alternative to open surgical method of treatment of patients with stenoses and occlusions of the carotid arteries.
