Ischemic Tolerance Evaluated by Computed Tomography Perfusion during Balloon Test Occlusion

In this study, we evaluated the utility of computed tomography (CT) perfusion during BTO to quantify ischemic tolerance for detecting delayed ischemic stroke. Materials and Methods: Forty-one patients who underwent BTO for the internal carotid artery were included.
