RESUMO

Pulsed Doppler spectral analysis and intravenous digital subtraction angiography have been carried out in 55 patients, three months after a total of 60 carotid endarterectomies. Five patients were operated on both sides and there were no re-operations. There were no re-stenoses and only one of the 60 internal carotid arteries was occluded. Spectral spreading of of the Doppler signal at the site of the endarterectomy was found in 52% of the internal carotid arteries, whereas wall irregularities were demonstrated in 25% by intravenous digital subtraction angiography. A stenosis or occlusion was found in 11 (18%) of the 60 ipsilateral external carotid arteries.
