متن کاملPostoperative internal carotid artery restenosis after local anesthesia: presence of risk factors versus intraoperative shunt.
Published data suggest that the regional anesthetic technique used for carotid endarterectomy (CEA) increases the systolic arterial blood pressure and heart rate. At the same time local anesthesia reduced the shunt insertion rate. This study aimed to analyze risk factors and ischemic symptomatology in patients with postoperative internal carotid artery restenosis. The current retrospective stud...
متن کامل[Monitoring of somatosensory evoked potentials during extracranial revascularization].
Intraoperative somatosensory evoked potentials (SEPs) were measured in 17 patients during 21 extracranial revascularization and related procedures. The operations included 13 carotid endarterectomies (CEAs), two cervical internal carotid ligations, one vertebral artery (VA) clipping, one VA-common carotid artery (CCA) transposition, and four temporary balloon occlusion tests (TBOTs). Three of t...
