V. Progress Report of Prognosis Following Surgery or Nonsurgical Treatment for Transient Cerebral Ischemic Attacks and Cervical Carotid Artery Lesions

William S. Fields, MD; Valentina Maslenikov, MD; John Stirling Meyer, MD; William K. Hass, MD; Richard D. Remington, PhD; Mary Macdonald

JAMA. 1970;211(12):1993-2003.

Abstract
A series of 316 patients with transient cerebral ischemic attacks and no neurological deficit were randomly allocated to surgical or nonsurgical treatment categories in a controlled manner. The total group was divided by anatomical patterns of lesions (carotid stenosis, unilaterally; carotid stenosis, bilaterally; and unilateral occlusion with opposite stenosis). During an average 42-month follow-up, distinct differences in outcome were noted in specific subgroups in the frequency and pattern of transient attacks and in the occurrence and location of cerebral infarction.
