A report on 130 operations of carotid elongation is presented. Indications for reconstruction are based on angiography, neurologic symptoms, and recently, on ultrasonography (Doppler's). Several surgical methods have been performed: 25 resections of the internal carotid artery, 5 resections of the common carotid artery, 3 resections of loop aneurysms. The main operative techniques were resection and neoimplantation, the latter with patch-plastic surgery. Usually, a shunt was used. Mortality was 0%, lethality, 2%. During a follow-up period of 6 weeks to 2 years, 86% of the patients were found to be free of complaints, and 14% were without change of the neurologic symptoms. The good neurologic results are convincing.
