The role of carotid endarterectomy performed under local anesthesia with near-infrared spectroscopy in the detection of early neurological events

Key Points

To evaluate the effectiveness of carotid endarterectomy performed under local anesthesia in detecting early neurological events using near-infrared spectroscopy.
Carotid endarterectomy performed under local anesthesia.
Monitoring of neurological deficits during and after the procedure.
Utilization of near-infrared spectroscopy to assess brain oxygenation.
Establishing thresholds for significant NIRS value changes related to shunt use.
Early detection of significant neurological deficits in patients.
Notable revisions made during surgery based on observed deficits.
Decreased NIRS values correlated with shunt use.
A decrease of more than 30% in NIRS values indicated potential necessity for shunting.

Abstract

With carotid surgery performed under LA, significant neurological deficits were detected early and necessary revisions were performed. We also found that a decrease in NIRS values is significant for shunt use, and a decrease of more than 30% in NIRS could be note worthy for shunt use.
