[The value of measuring intraoperative pressure in carotid endarterectomy (author's transl)].
During the last 4 years 92 operations at the carotid bifurcation were performed. In almost all cases carotid stump pressure was measured. If the stump pressure was below one third of the systemic pressure endarterectomy was done with intraluminal shunt. Under these conditions neurologic symptome deteriorated 3 times, but improved after a few days. There was no hospital mortality.
