Bilateral Dolichoarteriopathies of the Internal Carotid Artery: Surgical Treatment and Results.

The approach to surgical treatment of symptomatic bilateral dolichoarteriopathies of the internal carotid artery (DICA) remains an unresolved problem today. The aim of this article is to compare the methods of reconstruction of the stage-by-stage surgical treatment of bilateral DICA, depending on the type of deformity.

The patients underwent stage-by-stage operations on both sides, resulting in a total of 60 reconstructive operations on the carotid arteries. Based on the type of reconstruction, the patients were divided into three groups. All three groups showed positive dynamics with relief of the CVI clinical symptoms (
