Impact of intraoperative neurologic deficits in carotid endarterectomy under regional anesthesia.

Conclusions. Neurologic deficits during carotid clamping are a predictor of perioperative stroke. Body mass index > 30 kg/m2, a lower degree of ipsilateral stenosis, and a higher degree of contralateral stenosis are independent predictors of neurologic deficits and, therefore, might play a role in the prevention of procedure-related stroke.
