Radiographic and symptomatic brain ischemia in CEA and CAS: A systematic review and meta-analysis

Conclusions:
One in 5 persons with periprocedural radiographic brain ischemia during CEA and CAS had strokes and TIAs. The stable ratio of stroke and TIA to radiographic ischemia suggests that MRI ischemia could serve as a surrogate measure of periprocedural risk.
