title: [Surgical treatment of hemodynamically significant kinking of internal carotid arteries].
abstract: 38 patients with different forms of vascular cerebral insufficiency, caused by kinking and atherosclerotic changes of internal carotid arteries were operated on. Various types of reconstructive operation on extracranial carotid arteries were performed. The color duplex ultrasound scanning and computed tomography proved to be highly informative noninvasive means for detecting carotid pathology in patients with vascular cerebral insufficiency. Reconstructive operations on internal carotid arteries can serve as prophylactic and treatment measure of chronic cerebral insufficiency. Authors propose the principle of "six types" of reconstructive operations which individualizes the surgical approach. Carotid surgery for asympomatic patients should be performed on strict indications.
