The development of ultrasonic diagnostic imaging technics has recently been a competitive diagnostic method in cerebral arteriography. Many vascular surgeons, based on the high specificity and sensitivity of the ultrasonic imaging technics in carotid artery disease, have been performing carotid endarterectomy without arteriography with satisfactory results. In the last four years we have performed in our Department 62 carotid endarterectomies on 57 patients without using cerebral arteriography. In this paper diagnostic ultrasonic imaging and transcranial Doppler technics are presented and the immediate results of carotid endarterectomy in the above series of patients are reported. From our and other authors' experience it is concluded that carotid endarterectomy in patients with carotid artery disease is a safe procedure. Larger series of patients are needed with a longer follow-up in order that carotid endarterectomy without arteriography be accepted by the medical profession as a safe procedure.
