Although cerebral hyperperfusion after carotid endarterectomy (CEA) often impairs cognitive function, MRI does not always demonstrate structural brain damage associated with postoperative cognitive impairment. The purpose of the present study was to determine whether postoperative cortical neural loss, which can be detected by (123)I-iomazenil single-photon emission CT, is associated with cerebral hyperperfusion after CEA and whether it correlates with postoperative cognitive impairment.
