[The surgical treatment of cerebral ischaemia due to extracranial arterial occlusion(author's transl)].

Results of reconstructive vascular surgery in 352 patients (aged 3 to 75 years) with extracranial arterial occlusions (295 of internal carotid artery) with intermittent symptoms or minor neurological defects are reported. Advantages of reconstructive surgery in the prevention of recurrence are: (1) further cerebrovascular episodes more frequently affect the non-operated side or brain-stem; (2) neurological recovery is quicker and more complete in operated than conservatively treated patients. However, reconstructive surgery, while preventing further cerebrovascular episodes, does not influence definite neurological defects.
