    Abstract:
    The results of surgery for extra- and intracranial lesions of the carotid arteries in 108 patients are analysed. Application of non-invasive methods of examination parallelled with angiography provided a positive estimate of collateral circulation in unilateral occlusion of the internal carotid artery. Long-term postoperative studies showed best results in patients with transitory ischaemic attacks, minor stroke, dyscirculatory encephalopathy, and minor sequelae of ischaemic stroke. Surgery is contraindicated in moderate to severe poststroke neurological defect and does not have an advantage over conservative treatment.
