title: [Personal experience with management of extracorporeal circulation in patients with asymptomatic carotid arteriosclerosis].
abstract: The authors describe in following paper their own group of patients with asymptomatic but hemodynamically significant carotid disease operated under cardiopulmonary bypass on. Current studies recommend the "alpha-stat" regime as the optimal strategy of CPB conduction to ensure intraoperative cerebral protection. This study was done to verify this idea. 284 consecutive patients admitted for elective coronary surgery underwent a non-invasive Doppler scanning of extracranial carotid arteries. Twenty seven patients (10%) had significant carotid disease. All patients underwent coronary surgery as the first procedure. There was no cerebral complication in this group of patients and neurological status of these patients postoperatively was the same as it was preoperatively. This study shows that CPB in patients with hemodynamically significant carotid disease can be achieved without impairment of central nervous system with "alpha-stat" regime of perfusion.
