Abstract:Carotid endarterectomy (CEA) is known to be effective in reducing recurrent ischemic attacks, sometimes accompanied with the functional improvement, for patients with internal carotid artery (ICA) flow lesions by increase in perfusion and/or removal of embolic sources. However, the exact mechanism of how the CEA affects the cerebral metabolism in relations to the perfusion increase in noninfarcted hypoperfused peripheral areas to the center of the lesion (e.g., ischemic penumbra or border zone) is not yet clea… Show more
