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]

Carotid artery disease and low cerebral perfusion pressure: symptomatology, operative risk and outcome.
Authors: Schroeder T, Utzon NP, Aabech J, Sillesen H, Sørensen PS, Engell HC Abstract Direct internal carotid artery blood pressure measurements in patients undergoing carotid endarterectomy identified 49 patients, among 239 consecutive cases (21%), who had a reduction in perfusion pressure of 20% or more. The clinical history, objective findings and angiographic data were compared with those of a control group of a further 49 patients selected from the remaining patients operated on over the same period. The two groups were compared for short- and long-term outcome of surgery. We were unable to delineate a sympto...
