Recent years have witnessed a series of studies dedicated to assessment of optimal terms of performing carotid endarterectomy (CEA) after sustained acute cerebral circulatory impairment (ACCI). However, there is no commonly accepted opinion concerning feasibility and safety of early CEA in 'symptomatic' patients. The 2015 Guidelines of the American Heart Association suggest that surgical intervention should be performed within the shortest terms or during 2 weeks after a neurological event (class IIb, level B evidence).

A method for human body tissue structure imaging is developed and experimentally validated. Subcutaneous fat tissue reconstruction depth of up to 70 mm and maximum fat thickness measurement error below 2 mm are demonstrated by measurements with a human body phantom and human subjects.

Material And Methods: We analysed our experience in surgical treatment of 84 patients with pathological tortuosity of the ICA combined with atherosclerotic stenosis. The study included patients with ICA stenosis ≥60% (any type of the atherosclerotic plaque) and with any degree of cerebrovascular insufficiency (CVI), or with ICA stenosis <60% (type I-III atherosclerotic plaque) with degree II-IV CVI in a combination with either S- or C-shaped tortuosity of the ICA, kinking or coiling, with the linear blood flow rate ≥110 cm/s and turbulence of blood flow.
