Analyzing results of carotid graft interposition with and without flow preservation through external carotid artery after endarterectomy.
symptomatic carotid stenosis (> 50%)
unilateral asymptomatic carotid stenosis (> 60%)
bilateral asymptomatic carotid stenosis (> 60%)
carotid restenosis
"major surgery" in previous 6 months
previous brain trauma or surgery
malignant disease
Patients who underwent carotid artery surgery due to atherosclerotic symptomatic and asymptomatic disease had graft interposition conducted due to unsuccessful endarterectomy.

Carotid graft interposition
Procedure/SurgeryIn patients with extensive atherosclerotic carotid disease, when endarterectomy isn't feasible, replacement of the carotid artery with a graft is needed. Graft interposition can be performed either by end-to-end proximal and distal anastomoses in the undiseased common and internal carotid artery with ligation of the external carotid artery, or by side-to-end proximal anastomosis on the origin of the internal carotid artery and end-to-end distal anastomosis on the internal carotid artery with flow preservation in the external carotid artery.
