Abstract
The ideal method of monitoring cerebral perfusion during carotid endar terectomy remains controversial. This article reviews many of the larg er studies in the Literature that have attempted to evaluate the usefu lness of carotid artery stump pressure. Topics discussed include stump pressure alone, regional anesthesia, stump pressure and EEG, and stum p pressures and transcranial Doppler ultrasonography.
