AI Article Synopsis
- Transcranial Doppler ultrasound monitoring during carotid endarterectomy allowed for early detection of developing thrombosis in the operated artery prior to anesthesia reversal.
- This monitoring technique can identify potential complications before they lead to serious neurological damage.
- Utilizing this method may help lower the risks of morbidity and mortality associated with the surgery.
Article Abstract
We present a case where transcranial Doppler ultrasound monitoring of a carotid endarterectomy enabled us to detect the incipient thrombosis of the operated artery before reversal of anesthesia. The use of transcranial Doppler ultrasound monitoring in carotid endarterectomy has the potential to detect this complication before serious neurologic damage has occurred and therefore reduce the morbidity and mortality rates associated with the operation.
