Abstract
During the last 10 years 1514 endarterectomies of the carotid artery w ere performed by 9 surgeons. Complication rate was 3.6%, perioperative stroke incidence 3%, and lethality rate 1.1%. The results show, that conventional endarterectomy with obligate use of intraluminal shunt is a save management in therapy of severe stenosis of the carotid artery .
