Key result
Transcranial Doppler sonography monitoring during carotid endarterectomy detected intraoperative microembolic events in 5% of patients and reliably identified early postoperative asymptomatic occlusion.
Why the study?
Does transcranial Doppler sonography effectively monitor hemodynamics and detect complications in patients undergoing carotid endarterectomy?
Observational (n=178)
Does transcranial Doppler sonography effectively monitor hemodynamics and detect complications in patients undergoing carotid endarterectomy?
Transcranial Doppler sonography is a valuable tool for perioperative monitoring during carotid endarterectomy, capable of detecting critical hemodynamic changes and embolic events to guide surgical management.

May aid detection of microemboli and occlusion during carotid endarterectomy; leaves open whether routine use improves outcomes.
Gossetti et al. (1997) conducted an observational in Carotid endarterectomy (n=178). Transcranial Doppler sonography (TCD) was evaluated. Transcranial Doppler sonography monitoring during carotid endarterectomy detected intraoperative microembolic events in 5% of patients and reliably identified early postoperative asymptomatic occlusion.
