Cerebral function before and after extra-intracranial carotid bypass.

J E Drinkwater, S K Thompson, J S Lumley

    Journal of Neurology, Neurosurgery, and Psychiatry
    |September 1, 1984
    PubMed
    Summary

    Extra-intracranial carotid bypass surgery did not improve cerebral function in patients, unlike carotid endarterectomy. Pre-operative impairment in this group may explain the lack of post-operative improvement in neuropsychological test results.

    Area of Science:

    • Neurosurgery
    • Neuropsychology
    • Vascular Surgery

    Background:

    • Extra-intracranial carotid bypass surgery is a procedure to restore blood flow to the brain.
    • Cerebral function can be assessed using standardized neuropsychological test batteries.
    • Previous studies have shown improvements after carotid endarterectomy.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To evaluate the effect of extra-intracranial carotid bypass surgery on cerebral function.
    • To compare post-operative outcomes with those of carotid endarterectomy.

    Main Methods:

    • Thirty-eight patients underwent extra-intracranial carotid bypass surgery.
    • Cerebral function was assessed using the Halstead-Reitan neuropsychology test battery before and after surgery.
    • Two composite indices of cerebral function were analyzed.

    Main Results:

    • Patients exhibited impaired cerebral function before surgery.
    • No significant improvement in composite measures of cerebral function was observed after surgery.
    • The results did not match improvements seen after carotid endarterectomy.

    Conclusions:

    • Extra-intracranial carotid bypass surgery did not demonstrate a significant improvement in cerebral function in this patient cohort.
    • Greater pre-operative cerebral impairment in patients undergoing extra-intracranial bypass may account for the lack of post-operative improvement.
    • Further research may be needed to understand the efficacy of this surgical approach for specific patient populations.
