Abstract
Ca-rotid endarteriectomy has proved to be the best medical care in pat ients with symptomatic high-grade stenosis. This requires both accurat e and reliable diagnostic tools for determining the degree of stenosis . However, diagnostic criteria used in the relevant therapeutical stud ies differ considerably. This may lead to crucial differences in the e stimation of the findings in individual patients. We report a case whi ch highlights such diagnostic problems, also in respect of the therape utical options.
