Summary
Carotid artery occlusion and the occurrence of ocular and hemispheric signs became recognized during the latter years of the nineteenth century. Surgical ligations of the carotid artery were attempted during the twentieth century. A prevalent notion at the time was that intracranial vasospasm of small vessels precipitated by extracranial carotid disease caused the symptoms. For this reason, the most popular treatment for carotid disease was sympathectomy. C. M. Fisher first suggested that “bypassing” the occluded carotid artery segment could preclude clinical manifestations. His contributions were a quantum leap in understanding the mechanisms of carotid stroke. More than half a century after his landmark publication, treatment of carotid artery stenosis is still debated.
