Cerebral Ischemia Detected with Diffusion-Weighted MR Imaging After Stent Implantation in the Carotid Artery
AJNR 23:200-207, Jaeger,H.J.,et al, 2002
See this aricle in Pubmed

Article Abstract
In 29% of the procedures, stent implantation in the carotid artery was associated with new areas of cerebral ischemia, as detected by using diffusion-weighted MR images; these findings indicated the occurrence of cerebral microemboli during such procedures. In all patients except one, the new lesions were clinically silent.
