FLAIR vascular hyperintensities indicate slow poststenotic blood flow in ICA stenosis
Occlusion or significant stenosis of the internal carotid artery (ICA) in the cervical segment is commonly associated with a poststenotic decrease in the downstream blood flow and perfusion. Fluid attenuated inversion recovery (FLAIR) vascular hyperintensities (FVH) are a phenomenon that represents...

| Summary: | Occlusion or significant stenosis of the internal carotid artery (ICA) in the cervical segment is commonly associated with a poststenotic decrease in the downstream blood flow and perfusion. Fluid attenuated inversion recovery (FLAIR) vascular hyperintensities (FVH) are a phenomenon that represents slow arterial blood flow. In this study, we investigated the frequency and extent of FVH in the distal ICA in patients with proximal ICA stenosis. |
