[Abstract] Objective: The purpose of this study was to predict elevated cerebral blood flow (CBF) by three-dimensional pseudo continuous arterial spin labeling (3D-pCASL) in patients who underwent carotid artery stenting (CAS) and endarterectomy (CEA), in the hope of providing a prognosis index for elevated CBF after CAS and CEA and thus to provide some references for the selection of surgical methods.Materials and Methods: Symptomatic eighteen patients [15 males and 3 females, age=(61.6±8.2) years] with 70%—99% unilateral internal carotid artery (ICA) stenosis were consecutively enrolled, of these, 11 underwent CAS and 7 underwent CEA in a prospective cross-sectional study from November 2015 to February 2017. Routine MRI examinations and 3D-pCASL were performed using a 3.0 T system within 7 days prior to operations, and at 4 consecutive time-points (24, 48, 72, and 96 h) after the operations. Pearson's correlation for the relationships between elevated flow, antegrade flow, and collateral flow was determined. P<0.05 was considered statistically significant.Results: Collateral flow showed a significant positive correlation with elevated CBF (r=0.877, P=0.000) after CAS, but no correlation with elevated CBF after CEA (r=-0.099, P=0.833), despite CEA had higher collateral flow than CAS (P<0.05). Antegrade flow showed a significant negative correlation with elevated CBF (r=-0.905, P=0.005) after CEA, while no correlation with elevated CBF after CAS (r=-0.317, P=0.342), when the antegrade flow is largely identical (P >0.05).Conclusions: Leptomenigeal collateral and antegrade flow effecting on the elevated CBF are different after CAS and CEA, which may provide some references for the selection of surgical methods.
