Abstract
Different modalities of instrumental neuromonitoring techniques of the risk of cerebral ischemia during carotid endarterectomy (CEA) are described. To assess the rate of ischemic complications, and provide possible solutions to decrease risk factors for carotid clamping (temporary interruption of blood flow through carotid artery during its reconstruction), the selective indwelling shunt and the use of correct intraoperative biomarkers of cerebral ischemia are especially critical. The transcranial Doppler ultrasound (TDUS) examination, cerebral oximetry (CO), and electroencephalography (EEG, evoked potentials) techniques with detailed analyses of principles, methodology, and ischemia thresholds are compared with currently available data. These monitoring modalities during awaked carotid endarterectomy in 148 patients with carotid clamping are evaluated, and potential benefits and limitations are considered for recommendations of the optimal multimodal neuromonitoring strategy based on more sensitive and specific instrumental biomarkers of cerebral ischemia.
