Postcarotid Endarterectomy Hyperperfusion or Reperfusion Syndrome
Stroke 36:21-26, Karapanayiotides,T.,et al, 2005
See this aricle in Pubmed

Article Abstract
HS can occur in the presence of moderate relative hyperperfusion of the ipsilateral hemisphere. MCA Vm values may not accurately reflect RID of CBF over the cortical convexity. We suggest that the hemodynamic pathogenetic mechanisms of the HS are more complicated than hitherto believed and that they may be more accurately described by the term reperfusion syndrome.
