Rapid Formation of Cerebral Microbleeds after Carotid Artery Stenting

Rapid Formation of Cerebral Microbleeds after Carotid Artery Stenting

Background: Recent studies reported that cerebral microbleeds (CMBs), i.e. small areas of signal loss on T2*-weighted gradient-echo (GE) imaging, could develop rapidly after acute ischemic stroke. We hypothesized that CMBs rapidly emerge after carotid artery stenting (CAS). Objective: We investigate...
