Somatosensory Evoked Potentials and Electroencephalography During Carotid Endarterectomy Predict Late Stroke But Not Death

Late stroke and death rates are anticipated to be higher in patients undergoing carotid endarterectomy (CEA), however little is known regarding predictors. We seek to determine if dual intraoperative Somatosensory Evoked Potentials (SSEP) and electroencephalogram (EEG) monitoring can predict long-term strokes and death.
