Zusammenfassung:An 84-year-old man suffered from frequent transient ischemic attacks because of left internal carotid artery stenosis (99%). He received emergency carotid endarterectomy under hypothermia (34°C)4 days before the elected day of surgery because of sudden deterioration in his condition. His pulmonary artery blood temperature and cardiac index were maintained at 34°C and 3.0-3.6l•min-1•m-2, respectively. The patient was fully awake and extubated after returning to a normal temperature without neurologic deterioration.
