patient died. The median follow-up of these patients was 27 months. During this follow-up, there were no stroke recurrence and no significant restenosis. Conclusion: Our study shows that a symptomatic occlusion of the internal carotid can be repermeated without pharmacological thrombolysis with a specific management. Among these patients, when a stenosis is demonstrated, it can be operated according to the usual criteria and with results in conformity with the recommendations.
