Recent years have witnessed a series of studies dedicated to assessment of optimal terms of performing carotid endarterectomy (CEA) after sustained acute cerebral circulatory impairment (ACCI). However, there is no commonly accepted opinion concerning feasibility and safety of early CEA in 'symptomatic' patients. The 2015 Guidelines of the American Heart Association suggest that surgical intervention should be performed within the shortest terms or during 2 weeks after a neurological event (class IIb, level B evidence). In the presented herein review of literature most authors demonstrated safety and efficacy of performing early CEA after endured ACCI. However, further prospective, randomized studies are needed in order to work out new standards of examination and to determine optimal surgical policy.

Processed electroencephalography (pEEG) is increasingly used to titrate the depth of anesthesia. Whether such intra-procedural pEEG monitoring can offer additional information on cerebral perfusion or acute focal or global cerebral ischemia is unknown. This scoping review aimed to provide a narrative analysis of the current literature reporting the potential role of pEEG in adults with acute cerebral ischemia.

: There is an ongoing debate about the most advantageous anesthesia technique for carotid endarterectomy (CEA). From an anesthesiologic perspective, locoregional anesthesia (LRA) appears to offer significant benefits. However, the learning curve and complication rates for anesthesiologists newly performing ultrasound-guided LRA for CEA remain unclear and are to be examined in greater detail in this study.

Background And Purpose: Perioperative stroke is a well-recognized complication of carotid endarterectomy (CEA), but well-performing prediction models do not exist for it. Our aim was to identify novel predictors for perioperative ischaemic cerebrovascular events (iCVEs), emphasizing cerebrovascular imaging and potential biomarkers for stroke in carotid stenosis (CS) patients in a well-characterized prospective CS cohort.
Methods: Helsinki Carotid Endarterectomy Study 2 is an observational prospective and consecutive cohort study of CS patients subjected to CEA during 2012-2015.
