Abstract
EEG was an excellent detector of cerebral ischemia and a valuable tool in guiding the need for shunting. Patients who were symptomatic or had a history of stroke, a contralateral carotid occlusion, or an ipsilateral moderate carotid stenosis were more prone to EEG changes consistent with cerebral ischemia. Surgeons should consider EEG changes during clamping as an effective criterion for selective shunting.
