Abstract
High pre-operative ADMA concentration predicts poor cerebral perfusion indicated by elevated jugulo-arterial CO2 gap/oxygen extraction. Low pre-operative l-arginine concentration predicts the need for a shunt. The inverse correlation between pre-operative l-arginine concentration and both jugular lactate and S100B during carotid clamping suggests a protective role of the NO donor l-arginine.
