Abstract

Long-term follow-up study of the results of surgical treatment 149 patients with ischemic stroke were analysed. All the patients were contacted during the period of follow-up in hospital or by letter. The follow-up term was from 12 to 119 months mean 58 months. In 11 (7,4%) of patients the reccurence stroke was appearance, in 6 (4%) — transitore ischemic attacks. It is much lesser then number of strokes in the patients who were treated by medicine. Long-term results showed the effectiveness of carotid surgery for stroke.
