Abstract
Occlusive vascular disease of the brain, whether of extracranial or intracranial origin, can now be treated surgically with reasonable assurance that neurologic signs and symptoms will abate after operation. Refinements in microsurgical techniques, especially in the use of the operating microscope, account for the increased success of vascular procedures within the cranial vault. These procedures include vertebral and carotid endarterectomy, cerebral endarterectomy, and the recently developed cerebral artery occlusion bypass, utilizing an anastomosis between extracranial and intracranial arteries.
