Abstract

Based on several recent multicenter studies, it was established that only 5–20% of local cerebrovascular disorders caused by atherosclerosis of extracranial arteries develop in the result of hemodynamic disturbances, i.e., reduction of blood flow in the distal part of atherosclerotic damage (Borgatti 1994; Dixon et al. 1996).
