- Abstract:
- The aim of this study was to assess the effects of percutaneous transluminal angioplasty with stenting on cerebral vasoreactivity in carotid stenosis (CS). We studied the changes in the middle cerebral artery using transcranial Doppler and the breath-holding index (BHI) after hypercapnia in 33 patients with CS (15 symptomatic, 18 asymptomatic) before and 1 day and 1 month after stenting. One day after stenting, the BHI significantly increased (p < 0.01) on the previously stenotic side in all patients. One month after stenting, the BHI was significantly higher on the contralateral side of asymptomatic (p < 0.05) and symptomatic patients (p < 0.01). Percutaneous transluminal angioplasty with stenting results in increasing improvement close to normalization of impaired cerebral vasoreactivity in patients with symptomatic and asymptomatic high-grade CS. 2008 S.
