Popis:	To minimize morbidity in carotid surgery we have adopted the practice of routine operative arteriography. In our total experience of 692 carotid artery reconstructions done since 1979 no arteriography was used for the first 157 procedures. The combined morbidity and mortality rate in this group was 4.5% (4 strokes and 3 deaths as a result of stroke). After 157 carotid operations we used intraoperative arteriography on all cases, and the neurologic morbidity and mortality rate for this part of the series was 1.3% (6 strokes and 1 fatal cerebral hemorrhage). One death was due to myocardial infarction. The difference in ischemic neurologic sequellae between these two groups was statistically significant by chi-square analysis ( p p
