Figure 2. Flow volume changes in left internal carotid artery (ICA). (A) Recurrent left ICA stenosis due to neointimal hyperplasia. (B) Flow velocities in the left ICA of 2.62/1.09 m/s indicating 80% stenosis. (C) Flow reduction in the upper part of the left ICA with velocities of 0.42/0.2 m/s and a volume of 89 mL/min. (D) Flow normalization after successful stent implantation, with an increase of flow velocity to 243 mL/min 4 months after angioplasty.
