    AbstractIn a prospective evaluation 159 patients with carotid artery stenosis showed a multiple artery disease in 78 to 99% depending on the grade of cerebral artery insufficiency. Contralateral occlusion process could be detected in 15.7%, internal and common carotid artery occlusion in 16 patients (10%). 1595 patients picked out of the literature have been analyzed in respect of the natural history which showed a risk to develop a stroke in 4.5%/year. In further 1286 operated patients of other reports the morbidity and mortality rate ranged 4.5% and the risk of further neurologic events after operation was 2.4%/year. The use of an intraluminal shunt after thrombendarterectomy proved to be a good procedure to lower the morbidity and mortality rate without any intraoperative monitoring.
