چکیده
Cerebral Blood Flow Measurement as a Safeguard During Carotid Endarterectomy • Intraoperative measurement of regional cerebral blood flow (rCBF) by the Xe intracarotid injection technique was performed in 17 patients operated on for stenosis of the internal carotid artery. Mean rCBF decreased from 51 ml/100 gm x minute before endarterectomy to 30 ml/100 gm x minute when the internal carotid artery was clamped, a reduction of 41%. Postoperative aggravation of neurological deficits was observed in five patients in whom rCBF was at or below 30 ml/ 100 gm x minute during the period of carotid clamping, indicating a critical lower limit of rCBF of this magnitude. Flow reduction below this limit was tolerated only if the occlusion time was short. A critical time/flow relation is suggested. Distal internal carotid artery blood pressure during clamping (measured in eight cases) was poorly correlated to rCBF (r = 0.62, 0.1 > P > 0.05). ADDITIONAL

متن کاملRelation 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...
متن کاملIntraoperative microemboli and low middle cerebral artery blood flow velocity are additive in predicting development of cerebral ischemic events after carotid endarterectomy.
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 stenosi...
متن کاملCerebral blood flow during carotid endarterectomy.
Cerebral blood flow (CBF) was measured during 28 carotid endarterectomies in 25 patients, by injection of 133Xe into the exposed internal carotid artery (ICA). Twenty-three patients had episodic cerebral or retinal ischemia and five had neurologic deficits before operation. Initial CBF values were variable. Increases of PaC02 caused CBF to increase in four of six patients, to increase slightly ...
