Abstract
Materials and methods 193, consecutive patients, 101 males, mean age 72 years, underwent CEA in our Institution from September 2007 to December 2009. All operations were only performed by two surgeons and all patients were monitored with TCO during general anesthesia. TCO parameters were always registered in: base-line, anesthesia induction, carotid clamping and declamping, wake up and estubation. The relationship with TCO was described in terms of the decrease in percentage oxygenation. Standard endarterectomy was performed through a longitudinal arteriotomy. The majority of arteriotomies were sutured with a dacron patch. Primary suturing was done only when it was possible to use the eversion technique.
Highlights
Various modalities are used for cerebral monitoring during carotid endarterectomy (CEA)
The aim of this study was to evaluate the accuracy of transcranial cerebral oximetry (TCO ) for monitoring cerebral ischemia during carotid cross-clamping
All operations were only performed by two surgeons and all patients were monitored with TCO during general anesthesia
