To identify preoperative predictors for cerebral hyperperfusion (CHS) after CEA based on vessel selective ASL. The perfusion volume of each brain feeding artery and the corresponding mean CBF in each perfusion volume before and after CEA were calculated. It was found that the sum of perfusion volumes corresponding to LICA, RICA and VBA (TotalPerVol) and the preoperative territory perfusion of the surgery side (preCBF_surg) was inversely correlated with the degree of CBF increase. The result indicated that tASL and ASL were useful in predicting cerebral hyperperfusion.
