Diabetes in an independent risk factor for ischemic stroke, whose associated mortality rate is higher and sequelae more serious than for nondiabetics. Diabetes increases the risk of stroke or death after surgical carotid revascularization or endoluminal angioplasty. It is, with contralateral ICA occlusion, 1 of the 7 factors doubling the stroke risk after carotid endarterectomy. Diabetes also enhances the cerebral hemorrhage risk associated with carotid surgery, thrombectomy or thrombolysis revascularization of the cerebral arteries. This study was undertaken to examine whether the hemodynamic cerebral ischemia (HCI) frequency, which increases stroke severity, is higher in diabetics than nondiabetics and, if diabetes carries an excess HCI risk, whether it is independent of contralateral ICA occlusion.
