چکیده

BACKGROUND AND PURPOSE Microemboli generated during dissection of the carotid arteries in patients undergoing carotid endarterectomy result in postoperative cerebral ischemic events. The purpose of this study was to determine whether these events correlate with middle cerebral artery blood flow velocity. METHODS One hundred sixty-three patients with ipsilateral internal carotid artery stenosis (>70%) underwent carotid endarterectomy under transcranial Doppler monitoring of mean blood flow velocity and microembolic signals in the ipsilateral middle cerebral artery. RESULTS Logistic regression analysis of several variables demonstrated that only middle cerebral artery mean blood flow velocity during carotid dissection was significantly associated with new postoperative neurological deficits in patients with microembolic signals during carotid dissection (95% CI, 1.069 to 1.528; P=0.0072). The combination of low middle cerebral artery mean blood flow velocity (or=10 during carotid dissection resulted in improved specificity and positive predictive value for the development of new postoperative neurological deficits when compared with either criterion used alone. CONCLUSIONS Intraoperative microemboli and low middle cerebral artery mean blood flow velocity are additive in predicting the development of cerebral ischemic events after carotid endarterectomy.

Prediction of early cerebral outcome by transcranial Doppler monitoring in carotid bifurcation angioplasty and stenting.

OBJECTIVE The outcomes of carotid angioplasty and stenting (CAS) are, in addition to patient baseline characteristics, highly dependent on the safety of the endovascular procedure. During the successive stages of CAS, transcranial Doppler (TCD) monitoring of the middle cerebral artery was used to assess the association of cerebral embolism and hemodynamic changes with transient (amaurosis fugax...

Comparison of microembolism detected by transcranial Doppler and neuropsychological sequelae of carotid surgery and percutaneous transluminal angioplasty.

BACKGROUND AND PURPOSE Percutaneous transluminal angioplasty (PTA) is currently being assessed for the treatment of carotid stenosis. In comparison with carotid endarterectomy (CEA), there is evidence of an increased risk of cerebral microembolism during the procedure. We have sought evidence of any neuropsychological sequelae of carotid PTA and compared it with CEA to demonstrate the relative ...

Detection of Middle Cerebral Emboli During Coronary Artery Bypass Surgery Using Transcranial Doppler Sonography

Detection of Middle Cerebral Emboli During Coronary Artery Bypass Surgery Using Transcranial Doppler Sonography To the Editor: Spencer et al recently described the use of transcranial Doppler sonography to record the passage of emboli through the middle cerebral artery (MCA) during carotid endarterectomy. They recorded transient signals at the time of releasing common carotid cross clamps and i...

I-46: Obstetrical Doppler

Accurate assessment of gestational age, fetal growth, and the detection of fetal and placental abnormalities are major benefits of sonography. Color Doppler can be used to assist in the identification of vascular architecture, detection of vascular pathology and visualization of blood flow changes associated with physiologic processes and disease states. The clinical applications of obstetrical...

Relation between middle cerebral artery blood flow velocity and stump pressure during carotid endarterectomy.

BACKGROUND AND PURPOSE Many patient monitoring techniques have been used for detecting cerebral hypoperfusion during carotid endarterectomy. We compared middle cerebral artery blood flow velocities with carotid artery stump pressures to evaluate the indications for common carotid artery cross-clamp shunting and the probable hemodynamic causes of cerebrovascular complications. METHODS Blood fl...
