Fig. 2 Type I EC endarterectomy; after endarterectomy the stump of the ICA was not obliterated. Arteriotomy was closed with (four patients) or without (12 patients) vein patch grafting.

Fig. 4 Type III EC endarterectomy; after removal of the plaque, a segment of endarterectomized internal carotid occlusion was used for patch angioplasty. (Modified with permission from O'Mara CS.

Fig. 5 Operative findings in 22 operated sides (20 patients). Generally, the atherosclerotic plaque was mainly localized in the inner wall of the ECA (see text).

Fig. 6 Preoperative and postoperative ophthalmic artery-brachial artery pressure index (OBPI) was determined in eight patients. There was a significant increase after external carotid endarterectomy (p < 0.01).
