Abstract Technical factors and surgical techniques in carotid endarterectomy remain a controversial subject. The use of an indwelling arterial shunt has theoretical advantages in assuring intraoperative hemispheric perfusion and affording a more relaxed surgical environment. There has been little clinical demonstration, however, of superior results with carotid shunting. Although champions of routine shunting argue that it is a benign protective intervention, the possibilities of distal embolization or intimal disruption exist. The authors report a case of cervical carotid dissection far distal to the operative site that they postulate resulted from intimal disruption after routine shunt placement. This devastating complication from an otherwise benign procedure prompts reconsideration of the benefits and risks of routine shunt placement.

Summary. Background: This study attempted to correlate neurological symptoms in awake patients undergoing carotid endarterectomy (CEA) under local anaesthesia (LA) with serum concentration of S100B protein and measurement of cerebral oximetry with near-infrared spectroscopy (NIRS). Patients and methods: A total of 64 consecutive CEAs in 60 patients operated under LA during an 18-month period were prospectively evaluated. A cerebral oximeter was used to measure cerebral oxygen saturation (rSO2) before and after cross-clamping along with serum concentration of the S100B protein. Selective shunting was performed when neurological changes occurred, regardless of NIRS. Neurological deterioration occurred (neurological symptoms group) in 7 (10.9 %) operations. In 57 (89.1 %) operations, the patients were neurologically stable (no neurological symptoms group). Results: The neurological symptoms that occurred after clamping correlated with an increase in the serum level of S100B ( P = .040). The cut-off of 22.5 % of S100B increase was determined to be optimal for identifying patients with neurological symptoms. There was no correlation between rSO2 decline and neurological symptoms ( P = .675). Two (3.1 %) perioperative strokes occurred. Conclusions: We found a correlation between neurological symptoms and serum S100B protein increase. However, because of the long evaluation time of serum S100B, this monitoring technique cannot be performed during CEA.
