Abstract

= 0.05). There was no significant difference when particulate and air microemboli were compared. During surgery TCD identified residual flow of less than 40% in the MCA in 17 patients (18.8%). TCD also identified hyperperfusion in two patients, shunt abnormalities in three patients, and influenced postop treatment in four patients, one of whom was returned to surgery. TCD is an important tool for identifying patients who would benefit from a shunt, preventing hyperperfusion, identifying postop emboli, and detecting technical errors.
