Abstract
Stroke, the third leading cause of death in the United States, disables nearly 2 million people yearly, resulting in the cost of many millions of dollars. Eighty percent of strokes are caused by cerebral infarction rather than hemorrhage. About 75% of patients with ischemic cerebrovascular disease have at least one obstructing lesion at a surgically accessible site, most frequently the carotid artery bifurcation.
