Patients are stratified on the basis of the presence or absence of distal flow compromise. Those with low distal flow are offered intervention (surgical or endovascular); all patients receive standard medical therapy. We reviewed the clinical outcome of patients managed with this protocol from 1998 to 2003.\n          <\/jats:p>\n          <jats:p>\n            <jats:bold>\n              <jats:italic>Results\u2014<\/jats:italic>\n            <\/jats:bold>\n            Follow-up was available for 47 of 50 patients over a mean interval of 28 months. Stroke and combined stroke\/transient ischemic attack free survival at 2 years was calculated using the Kaplan\u2013Meier curve. Patients with normal distal flow (n=31) had an event-free survival of 100% and 96%, respectively. Comparatively, patients with low distal flow (n=16) experienced a 71% and 53% event-free survival, demonstrating a significantly higher risk of recurrent ischemia (\n            <jats:italic>P<\/jats:italic>\n            =0.003). Patients with low flow who subsequently underwent treatment (n=12) had an 82% event-free survival.
