Diagnostic accuracy of somatosensory evoked potential and electroencephalography during carotid endarterectomy.

CONCLUSION: The diagnostic accuracy of multimodality IONM during CEA is higher than an approach using single modality IONM. Simultaneous EEG and SSEP monitoring improves the likelihood of detecting periprocedural strokes after CEA. Neuro protective therapies to prevent periprocedural strokes can be based on changes in SSEP and EEG during CEA. PMID: 27342607 [PubMed - as supplied by publisher]
