Abstract
The indication for extra-intracranial bypass operation in transient ischemic attacks (TIA) is undisputed. By contrast, since the chance of the operation being successful in completed stroke is reduced owing to severe morphological changes, the question of whether to operate remains a subject of discussion (2, 4, 6). However, we have observed that despite severe neurological disorders, the mental activity of patients with cerebral infarction improved considerably following surgery. In a prospective study we aimed to verify this observation. To this end patients were submitted to pre- and postoperative radiological and neurological examination as well as series of regional cerebral blood flow (rCBF) measurements and psychological tests.
