Intraoperative electromagnetic flow meter measurements were made after 143 carotid endarterectomies. Six (4.2 per cent) had low or no internal carotid artery blood flow, and four of these had a clear technical cause. After rearteriotomy, five had restoration of blood flow to the normal range. These data support the hypothesis that there is a small but significant instance of technical causes of immediate carotid endarterectomy failure which may not be detectable by observation and palpation. Postendarterectomy intraoperative internal carotid artery blood flow measurement is an acceptable method of detecting hemodynamically significant technical defects.
对143例颈动脉内膜切除术患者进行了术中电磁流量计测量。其中6例（4.2%）颈内动脉血流较低或无血流，其中4例有明确的技术原因。再次动脉切开术后，5例血流恢复到正常范围。这些数据支持这样一种假设，即颈动脉内膜切除术即刻失败存在少量但显著的技术原因，这些原因可能无法通过观察和触诊检测到。术后术中颈内动脉血流测量是检测血流动力学显著技术缺陷的一种可接受方法。
