Abstract
- Cerebral oximetry is a noninvasive bedside monitor for cerebral oxygen saturation (rSO(2)). A patient with a thoracic aneurysm underwent combined surgical and endovascular repair. A sudden decrease in right rSO(2) led to the finding of acute innominate artery dissection. Immediate repair was instituted. Sudden asymmetry of rSO(2) may be a warning sign of underlying pathology.<br /> (Copyright © 2011 Elsevier Inc. All rights reserved.)
