Abstract: The study performed a retrospective analysis of endovascular and conservative treatment of patients with ischemic stroke, caused by atherosclerotic lesions of brachiocephalic arteries. The studied group consisted of 80 patients who underwent the stenting of carotid arteries. The control group consisted of 90 patients who underwent a conservative therapy. The analysis of groups is performed according to risk factors of ischemic stroke development. The group under study included 66 men and 14 women. The median age of this group made 58.6 years. The control group included 69 men and 21 women. The average age of the patients made 62.6 years. The stenting was performed using distal embolic protection. The conservative therapy was carried out in accordance with the Federal standard. The result of treatment was assessed according to NIHSS scale.
