Abstract
Stroke is one of the leading causes of death and disability. According to the WHO, mortality due to stroke and other cerebrovascular diseases ranks second after cardiovascular disease. Timely revascularization of the carotid arteries has been shown to be effective in reducing the risk of cerebrovascular accident in patients with symptomatic carotid stenosis of atherosclerotic genesis. However, despite the high efficiency, there are risks of ischemic stroke in the postoperative and long-term period. This review presents statistical data on recurrent strokes and predictors of stroke development after carotid endarterectomy and carotid artery stenting.
