Cerebral hyperperfusion syndrome — a rare but severe complication following carotid revascularization — may occur in up to 3% of patients undergoing carotid stenting. A new prospective study suggests ...
Researchers have discovered a promising approach for reducing brain injury risk in patients undergoing carotid artery stenting (CAS). CAS is a procedure commonly performed in elderly patients with ...
Investigators used MRI to evaluate brain perfusion in patients with transfusion-dependent (n=54) and non–transfusion-dependent (n=23) β-thalassemia versus 56 controls. They found that relative ...
A small subset of patients who undergo carotid endarterectomy (CEA) develop cerebral hyperperfusion syndrome, a serious complication with a poor prognosis. In a recent study, Fukuda et al. have ...
