Abstract

Ischaemic stroke represents a major health problem and an important cause of morbidity and mortality in several western countries [12]. Mortality from stroke ranges be- tween 10% and 30% [61] and its survivors remain at a high annual risk of recurrent ischaemic events and mor- tality both from myocardial infarct and repeated stroke [76]. Atherosclerosis from supra-aortic vessels, especially from the common carotid bifurcation, is the major single aetiology of ischaemic stroke in developed countries as opposed to intracranial occlusive disease and cardioem- bolization.
