Flow-Assisted Surgical Technique during Cerebrovascular Surgery

Flow measurement during cerebrovascular surgery can help identify issues with flow or confirm the success of the anastomosis before closure.

“One of the major risks associated with aneurysm surgery is the potential for inadvertent occlusion or compromise of the vascular branches from which the aneurysm arises, which can result in stroke. Use of the ultrasonic flow probe provides real-time immediate feedback concerning vessel patency … Intraoperative flow measurement is a valuable adjunct for enhancing the safety of aneurysm surgery.” - Amin-Hanjani S, MD, FACS
