Cerebral hemodynamic benefits after carotid artery stenting in patients with near occlusion

Conclusions: Before CAS, patients with NO were more hemodynamically compromised than those with severe stenosis without NO. After CAS, significant cerebral hemodynamic improvement and normalization occurred long-term. Thus, from a hemodynamic perspective, CAS was effective in patients with NO.
