Abstract:
Five patients with symptomatic carotid artery stenosis were treated with microsurgical carotid endarterectomy from January 1988 to December 1990. All patients but one case with major stroke have been improved remarkably after surgery. During the surgery, the use of surgical microscope and electroencephalographic recording seemed to be very useful and beneficial not only for meticulous surgical procedure but also for monitoring of cerebral tolerance in carotid artery cross clamping.
