Abstract		Intraoperative transcranial Doppler monitoring of intracranial blood flow during carotid endarterectomy, surgical management of intracranial aneurysms and coronary artery bypass grafting is important because it enables recording of the flow in the middle cerebral artery in real time. An adequate blood flow through the middle cerebral artery during carotid endarterectomy allows for selective choice of intraluminal shunt as well as an operation without it, timely identification of cerebral hyperperfusion, vasospasm and hypoperfusion, and detection of cerebral microembolisms, thus minimizing postoperative neurologic complications such as cerebrovascular events or cognitive dysfunction.
