Improvement of Pituitary Function after Carotid Revascularization in Patients with Abnormal Cerebral Perfusion - A Pilot Study

Brain ischemia may affect hypothalamic-pituitary axis function, which may influence the outcomes of patients with internal carotid artery (ICA) stenosis/occlusion. The objective of this study was to determine the influence of successful carotid revascularization on pituitary function in patients with severe ICA stenosis/occlusion.
