[The assessment of prognosis of carotid endarterectomy by cliniсal-mathematical method].

We examined 127 patients with atherosclerotic stenosis of carotid arteries who underwent carotid endarterectomy (CEAE). In the most of patients (85%), CEAE slowed the progression of chronic cerebral ischemia leading to the stabilization or improvement of neurologic and/or neuropsychological status. The analysis of the data allowed to suggest a mathematical model for predicting the outcome of the surgery.
