Late spontaneous recanalization of internal carotid artery is a very rare event. We describe three cases which came to our observation in which the occlusion was demonstrated both by angiography and Doppler ultrasound. Two of them had surgical treatment and the histological exam of the plaque showed multiple recanalization foci. Our experience confirmed the possibility of a successful surgical treatment that offers a good patency in the short and medium term.

Abstract
Late spontaneous recanalization of internal carotid artery is a very rare event. We describe three cases which came to our observation in which the occlusion was demonstrated both by angiography and Doppler ultrasound. Two of them had surgical treatment and the histological exam of the plaque showed multiple recanalization foci. Our experience confirmed the possibility of a successful surgical treatment that offers a good patency in the short and medium term.File in questo prodotto:
