Comparative StudyStump pressure and transcranial Doppler for predicting shunting in carotid endarterectomy.
to compare stump pressure (SP) and transcranial Doppler (TCD) with neurologic monitoring during carotid endarterectomy (CEA). ⋯ none of the haemodynamic criteria by SP and TCD resulted absolutely reliable in predicting the need for carotid shunt.

Improvement of carotid blood flow after carotid endarterectomy--evaluation using intraoperative ultrasound flow measurement.
to examine the relationship between the degree of extracranial internal carotid artery (ICA) stenosis and changes in the ipsilateral ICA blood flow after carotid endarterectomy (CEA). ⋯ in the absence of severe contralateral ICA occlusive disease a significant increase of ipsilateral ICA blood flow by CEA can be expected in patients with an ICA stenosis of > or =82.3% (linear degree of stenosis, ECST criteria).
