Abstract
- A temporary balloon occlusion of internal carotid artery (ICA) was performed in 3 patients for carotid artery endarterectomy and 1 patient require sacrifice ICA with neck malignancy. EEG monitoring and neurologic evaluation was done during the test. In one patient who has bilateral ICA stenosis more than 95% shows slurred speech and aphasia during test. Another 3 patients shows no clinical change during test, and operation was done without shunt. There were no postoperative neurologic complication. We believe that preoperative balloon occlusion of ICA provide another helpful criteria to decide using shunt. But it needs another hemodynamic analysis tool according to other's report.
