The use of classical shunt techniques during carotid endarterectomy may sometimes impede carotid artery surgery. For this purpose, a new and simple shunt procedure can easily be performed by placing the arterial blood flow from the femoral artery catheter into the internal carotid artery with a blood set without using any three-way stopcock. Since a flow of 250-300 ml/min is provided during the surgery through this shunt placed with the blood set, adequate brain protection can be obtained, and neurological deficits are avoided.
