ABSTRACT
Carotid endarterectomy is one of the most frequently operations performed on carotid atherosclerosis stenosis. Recurrent carotid stenosis is reported as varying from 16 to 22%. Two types of lesions are identified fibromuscular hyperplasia and secondary atherosclerosis, occuring at variable date. Most of restenosis are asymptomatic. Non invasive techniques are now useful to their diagnosis ultrasound, oculoplethysmography, carotid phono-angiography. Factors of restenosis remain unknown. Groups that are more likely to develop recurrent disease include women and patients in whom original disease developed at an early age. Patch angioplasty is the most performed technique in recurrent carotid stenosis
