Research progress on perioperative monitoring of cerebral autoregulation and neurovascular coupling for carotid artery stenting
Cerebral autoregulation(CA)is the ability of blood vessels to keep cerebral blood flow(CBF)relatively constant across a wide range of blood pressure or cerebral perfusion pressure.Ischemic cerebrovascular disease has been associated with CA impairment,but the mechanism is unclear.While their association is a focus,research on periopera-tive CA and neurovascular coupling(NVC)monitoring for carotid artery stenting has also made progress.This paper fo-cuses on research progress on perioperative CA and NVC monitoring in patients undergoing carotid artery stenting,and dis-cusses the value of CA and NVC for monitoring autoregulation of cerebral blood flow in the perioperative period of carotid artery stenting.
