Watershed Infarcts in Transient Ischemic Attack/Minor Stroke With =50% Carotid Stenosis: Hemodynamic or Embolic?
Stroke 41:1410-1416, Moustafa,R.R., et al, 2010
See this aricle in Pubmed

Article Abstract
This pilot study supports the idea that in symptomatic carotid disease, deep watershed infarcts result either from hemodynamic impairment secondary to severe lumen stenosis or from microembolism secondary to plaque inflammation. There was no direct evidence that both mechanisms act in synergy.
