Purpose  We sought to investigate the capacity of cerebral autoregulation and cerebrovascular reactivity (CVR) in patients with middle cerebral artery (MCA) stenosis.    Methods  Twenty-one patients with MCA stenosis diagnosed by magnetic resonance angiography and 15 healthy controls were enrolled. Cerebral autoregulation was assessed by autoregulatory parameters (rate of recovery/phase/gain) derived from transfer function from spontaneous oscillations of cerebral blood flow velocity and blood pressure. CVR was tested by a rebreathing maneuver.    Results  Rate of recovery, phase and CVR estimated from moderate MCA stenosis (rate of recovery  = 17.76±8.21%/s, phase  = 26.93±15.67°, and CVR  = 1.53±0.84%/mmHg, respectively) were significantly different (p<0.05) from controls (rate of recovery  = 39.62±27.99%/s, phase  = 55.66±22.10°, and CVR  = 2.18±0.80%/mmHg, respectively). Rate of recovery (r = −0.698, p<0.001), phase (r = −0.738, p<0.001)) and CVR (r = −0.690, p<0.001) were all significantly correlated with the degree of stenosis.    Conclusion  Cerebral autoregulation and CVR were impaired in patients with ≥ 50% MCA stenosis. The measures of both hemodynamic properties were inversely correlated with the stenotic degree.
