Carotid endarterectomy: Is a shunt necessary?
American Journal of Surgery
|December 1, 1975
Summary
Induced systemic hypertension during carotid endarterectomy minimizes cerebral ischemia risk. Internal carotid artery stump pressure effectively guides brain protection needs, reducing shunt necessity and neurologic complications.
Area of Science:
- Neurology
- Vascular Surgery
Background:
- Carotid endarterectomy is a common procedure to prevent stroke.
- Cerebral ischemia is a significant risk during carotid artery clamping.
