ABSTRACT
The external carotid artery is an important collateral pathway for cerebral perfusion when the internal carotid artery is occluded. After internal carotid artery occlusion, there is a definite risk of ipsilateral neurological events. The authors retrospectively examined their experience with endarterectomy of the external carotid artery for symptomatic internal carotid artery occlusion. Results based on the authors' experience and on historical data show external carotid endarterectomy to be a safe procedure. Obliteration of the cul-de-sac appears to be a very important factor in the prevention of reocclusion or recurrence of symptoms after external carotid endarterectomy. Use of the internal carotid artery stump for patching of the endarterectomized external carotid artery is both safe and effective in treating symptomatic internal carotid artery occlusion.
