Fig. 1 Time at which all recurrent stenoses and those with associated symptoms were first detected after carotid endarterectomy. Asterisk indicates patient with stroke.

Fig. 3 Flow chart shows fate of 37 carotid arteries with moderate recurrent stenoses (50% to 79% diameter reduction) at time they were first detected. Numbers of arteries are shown in parentheses. ASγMP, Asymptomatic; NH, nonhemispheric symptoms; NO PROG, no progression of stenosis; OCCL, total occlusion of ipsilateral artery. Asterisk after NO CEA indicates that patient refused operation.

Fig. 4 Flow chart shows fate of three carotid arteries with severe recurrent stenoses (80% to 99%) and four total occlusions present at initial follow-up scanning. Symbols are same as in Fig. 3. Asymptomatic severe stenosis was not operated on because stenosis was at borderline of 79% to 80% and patient was reluctant to undergo surgery.
