The advent of arteriography confirmed and delineated the site of extracranial obstruction. Eastcott et al.5reported this first successful repair of a partially obstructing internal carotid artery. Numerous subsequent contributors have added experiences and surgical techniques to the surgical treatment of this condition.6-8 We are reporting our failures and successes in 31 cases of complete and partial obstruction of the internal carotid artery.
