Abstract
A clinical case of surgical treatment in patient with tandem ipsilateral lesion of the right internal carotid artery: (95–99 % stenosis at the ostium) and the middle cerebral artery (occlusion) described in the article. Further treatment tactics could be determined with the help of PKT performed on the patient during hospitalization. Changes in the blood supply to the cerebral hemisphere revealed by PKT were of decisive importance in determining the further treatment tactics for this patient. The patient was operated in the range of right side carotid endarterectomy. Control brain tomography perfusion, performed 6 months after surgery, demonstrated the absence of areas with impaired blood flow in the cerebral hemispheres.
