Eligibility Criteria

Inclusion

  • Inclusion criteria comprised:
  • patient's age ≥ 18 years;
  • 60-99% stenosis of the internal carotid artery (degree of stenosis assessed by means of Doppler sonography, CT angiography or catheter angiography);
  • diameter of the target internal carotid artery not more than 7 mm;
  • symptomatic lesion (a history of ipsilateral stroke, transient ischaemic attack or reversible ischaemic neurological deficit);
  • localisation and morphology of the lesion making possible surgical eversion endarterectomy or endovascular angioplasty with stent implantation;
  • written informed consent.
  • Exclusion criteria comprised:
  • target lesion that has been previously stented;
  • highly calcified lesions;
  • very tortuous common and internal carotid arteries;
  • occlusion of the contralateral carotid artery without adequate collateral circulation through the circle of Willis (revealed by means of transcranial Doppler sonography);
  • anatomical contraindications for eversion endarterectomy;
  • acute ipsilateral stroke;
  • disabling stroke at any side;
  • other severe pathologies of the brain resulting is significant loss of cerebral tissue and/or significant neurological deficits, such as extensive previous stroke or multiple lacunar infarcts;
  • history of haemorrhagic transformation of ischaemic stroke;
  • severe comorbidities (such as cancer or decompensated heart failure);
  • allergy to aspirin, clopidogrel or ticlopidine;
  • allergy to iodinated contrast media;
  • pregnant women;
  • women of reproductive age who do not use effective contraception;
  • metallic implants (such as peacemakers and orthopaedic endoprostheses) or other known contraindications for magnetic resonance imaging;
