Routine or selective carotid artery shunting for carotid endarterectomy (and different methods of monitoring in selective shunting)

CONCLUSIONS: This review concluded that the data available were too limited to either support or refute the use of routine or selective shunting in carotid endarterectomy when performed under general anaesthesia. Large-scale randomised trials of routine shunting versus selective shunting are required. No method of monitoring in selective shunting has been shown to produce better outcomes.PMID:35731671 | PMC:PMC9216235 | DOI:10.1002/14651858.CD000190.pub4
