Changes in Middle Cerebral Artery Velocity after Carotid Endarterectomy do not Identify Patients at High-risk of Suffering Intracranial Haemorrhage or Stroke due to Hyperperfusion Syndrome

Conclusion: We were unable to demonstrate that significant increases in MCAV and PI were able to predict patients at increased risk of suffering a post-operative stroke due to HS or ICH. The provision of written guidance for managing PEH in Group 2 patients was associated with virtual abolition of ICH/HS.
