Visual suppression of vestibulo-ocular reflex in patients treated with carotid artery revascularization: A potential biomarker for cerebral perfusion

Carotid endarterectomy (CEA) and carotid artery stenting (CAS) are common treatments for ischemic stroke prevention in patients with carotid artery stenosis. However, the beneficial effects of CEA/CAS for cerebral hypoperfusion due to carotid artery stenosis have yet to be fully established. As dizziness is a common symptom in patients with carotid artery stenosis, we aimed to evaluate the effects of CEA/CAS on cerebral function in patients with carotid artery stenosis, using equilibrium function tests.
