Abstract:
ObjectiveTo evaluate the use of carotid shunting for the protection of cerebral function during extra-cranial carotid surgery. MethodsTwenty-three patients with carotid artery related disease underwent surgery under carotid shunting, with age ranging from 11 to 76 years (mean of 55). Carotid endarterectomy was performed for carotid atherosclerotic stenosis in 12 cases, excision for carotid body tumor (CBT) in 4 cases, resection of carotid pseudoaneurysm in 4 cases, partial excision of internal carotid aneurysm in 2 cases, and segmental resection of carotid artery and end to end anastomosis in one case. ResultsThere was no mortality nor complications related to cerebral ischemia. Horner signs developed in one case of CBT. ConclusionThe protecting effect of carotid shunting is excellent for surgical procedures involving carotid artery.
