Abstract:
The ideal method of monitoring cerebral perfusion during carotid endarterectomy remains controversial. This article reviews many of the larger studies in the literature that have attempted to evaluate the usefulness of carotid artery stump pressure. Topics discussed include stump pressure alone, regional anesthesia, stump pressure and EEG, and stump pressures and transcranial Doppler ultrasonography.
