Popis: Abstract Backgroundː Stroke, primarily resulting from ischemic conditions, is the foremost cause of mortality and long-term impairment and is frequently associated with narrowing of the carotid arteries. Although carotid endarterectomy (CEA) is the treatment of choice, it carries the risk of cerebral ischemia and reduced blood flow. Transcranial Doppler (TCD) ultrasound offers a nonintrusive method to assess cerebral blood circulation during CEA, potentially enhancing surgical outcomes. The objective of this study was to assess the clinical utility and safety of TCD monitoring during CEA and to identify factors influencing postoperative complications. Methods This retrospective analysis included 158 CEA patients (from January 2021–August 2023) who underwent TCD monitoring and whose data were compared to historical standard care data. The primary outcomes were operation duration and artery occlusion time. Secondary outcomes included carotid shunt usage, seven-day postoperative complications, and six-month carotid artery patency. Logistic regression identified factors linked to adverse reactions, and a predictive model was evaluated with a receiver operating characteristic (ROC) curve. Resultsː Comparative analysis indicated significant reductions in both the duration of surgery (113.26 ± 7.29 min) and artery occlusion time (21.85 ± 2.92 min) for patients monitored with TCD (P
