Clinical Trial Summary

This study was a single-center, exploratory, randomized controlled trial. First, the effects of ephedrine, phenylephrine, or norepinephrine on cerebral blood flow hemodynamics in CEA patients were evaluated using DSC-MRI to investigate the specific mechanisms of the three vasopressors on cerebral blood flow and oxygen metabolism in brain tissues.


Clinical Trial Description

Carotid endarterectomy is a procedure used to remove plaque from the common and internal carotid arteries and improve cerebral perfusion. Clinical studies have demonstrated the effectiveness of this procedure in both symptomatic and asymptomatic patients. intraoperative circulatory management challenges in CEA include the following: ① The incidence of preoperative combined coronary artery disease, hypertension and diabetes mellitus is relatively high in patients undergoing carotid endarterectomy, and there is a pathological basis for systemic vascular injury, increasing the risk of perioperative cardiovascular and cerebrovascular complications, such as myocardial ischemia and stroke. ② During the CEA procedure, the common carotid artery, internal carotid artery and external carotid artery and the superior thyroid artery need to be blocked respectively, the source of blood supply to the cerebral hemisphere on the operated side is reduced and depends only on the Willis circle supply. ③ Carotid sinus pressure receptor pull stimulation causes circulatory fluctuations. During CEA, a relatively high arterial pressure is required to provide adequate cerebral perfusion. However, achieving this target blood pressure level intraoperatively can be challenging due to given conditions, the presence of induction drugs and anesthetics. Therefore, it is particularly important to maintain cerebral hemodynamic stability and ensure tissue perfusion with intraoperative use of vasopressers. The purpose of this study was to evaluate the effects of ephedrine, phenylephrine, or norepinephrine on cerebral blood flow hemodynamic in CEA patients using DSC-MRI to investigate the specific mechanisms of the three boosting agents on cerebral blood flow and oxygen metabolism in brain tissues. ;
