Description

The risk of ligating one carotid artery was tested by balloon occlusion of that vessel for a period of 30 to 60 minutes, during which time contralateral carotid angiography was carried out as well as an EEG and xenon-133 blood flow measurements. The procedure was carried out on seven patients, two showed a reduction in cerebral blood flow without EEG changes. In one patient the contralateral circulation could not be demonstrated by angiography. Carotid ligation was carried out in 5 of 7 patients. Neurological complications were not observed. (orig.)

Abstract (German)

Die Ballonokklusion der A. carotis interna ueber 30-60 min mit kontralateraler Karotisangiographie, simultaner EEG-Registrierung und 133Xenon-Hirndurchblutungsmessung dient der Ueberpruefung des Intoleranzrisikos vor Karotisunterbindung. Das bei 7 Patienten durchgefuehrte Verfahren zeigte in 2 Faellen einen Abfall der Hirndurchblutung, jedoch keine EEG-Veraenderungen. Angiographisch liess sich einmal die kontralaterale Zirkulation nicht nachweisen. Die bei 5 von 7 Patienten nachfolgend vorgenommene Karotisligatur wurde ohne neurologische Ausfaelle toleriert.
