Fig. 2 The CSP change and changes in flow rates of the communicating arteries. The CSP was constant when the contralateral stenosis was under 40%; it declined linearly when the contralateral stenosis ratio was over 50% (a). The Acom flow rate decreased linearly when the contralateral stenosis ratio was over 50% (b). The ipsilateral Pcom flow rates increased linearly when the contralateral stenosis ratio was over 50% (c).
Acom: anterior communication artery; Pcom: posterior communicating artery; CSP: carotid stump pressure
