64-detector CT angiography within 24 hours after carotid endarterectomy and correlation with postoperative stroke.

CCA step-offs and ECA flaps are relatively common and clinically insignificant, whereas ICA/CCA flaps and thrombi are less frequently seen and are associated with postoperative stroke/TIA.
