Multicenter Study
Intraoperative monitoring of carotid endarterectomy by transcranial motor evoked potential: a multicenter study of 600 patients.
This study was to investigate the utility of motor evoked potential monitoring elicited by transcranial electrical stimulation (tcMEP) during CEA in addition to the established median nerve somatosensory evoked potentials (mSSEPs). ⋯ TcMEPs seem to improve postoperative outcome, especially in case of a timely correction of cerebral ischemia.
