Intracranial hemodynamic status varies in patients with unilateral significant carotid artery stenosis. It ranges from normal, because of sufficient collaterals, to poor, because of a severely reduced blood supply that puts the patient at an increased risk of stroke or cerebral ischemia. The present study examined patterns of abnormal cerebrovascular hemodynamics in patients with asymptomatic carotid artery stenosis.
