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.

Neurocognitive Improvement After Carotid Artery Stenting in Patients With Chronic Internal Carotid Artery Occlusion: A Prospective, Controlled, Single-Center Study
Symptomatic internal carotid artery (ICA) occlusion with hemodynamic impairment remains a dismal disease when untreated. In this prospective, single-center, controlled study, we investigated the feasibility, safety, and long-term outcome of stenting by endovascular recanalization for patients with chronic ICA occlusion. Forty patients with symptomatic chronically occluded ICA were assigned to receive endovascular recanalization (group A, n = 18) or conservative management (group B, n = 22). The primary end point was 100% complete recanalization of the primary occlusion at 60 minutes, and secondary end points were improveme...
