Global Medical Device Nomenclature (GMDN) : the GMDN Preferred Term Name is "Carotid artery shunt" and is defined as: "A sterile device designed to serve as a temporary blood conduit (a shunt) connecting the distal internal carotid artery to the proximal common carotid artery allowing intravascular blood to continuously flow to the patient's brain during an endarterectomy procedure. It is typically designed as a hollow shaft with atraumatic dilations (e.g., balloons) on either end. The shaft is inserted into the lumen of the blood vessel, via a small incision at the surgical site. It is typically made of silicone elastomer and polyester radiopaque materials and is available in a range of diameters. This is a single-use device."

Carotid Shunt is UNSPSC code 42295512: Surgical implantable shunts or shunt extenders.

and bringing innovative medical ideas to reality.

Why use a Doppler Carotid Shunt?

Here are some reasons:

  • Peace of Mind –You know the shunt is delivering blood to the brain with the audible signal.
  • Medical Legal – Everyone in the O.R. becomes a witness to having heard the real time verification of the blood flowing.
  • Reimbursement – As Medicare slices through the fees owed to Physicians, some surgeons have reported you can get money back by using a certain CPT code. As a stand alone CPT code, 93882 has worked in the past. Check for updated CPT codes.
  • Anesthesia Monitoring – When deciding to use a shunt to provide the best healthcare for your patient, the patient needs to have a good heart rate with corresponding pressure.  If the rate and pressure drop, the Doppler volume will indicate the change.
  • Scheduling - Occasionally when the EEG Tech is unavailable, and the Surgeon wants to be certain that the Shunt is performing well.

There is a direct relationship of the Doppler signal to the heart rate and blood pressure.  When there is a slower heart rate, the blood flow will undoubtedly slow and the Doppler will make these variables known to you audibly.
