Popis: Background: Cerebral perfusion during carotid cross-clamping depends on collateral function of the circle of Willis. The aim of this study was to determine the value of 3D Phase-Contrast (3D PC) MR angiography in predicting pre-operatively the need of shunting. Methods: 3D PC MR angiography were performed in 121 patients before carotid endarterectomy under locoregional anaesthesia. Based on the MR analysis, the risk of cerebral ischemia–hypoxia during clamping was classified as high, moderate and low. The analysis was then correlated with intraoperative neurological examination. Results: In patients with high risk of cerebral ischemia (n=9), immediate cerebral ischemia developed in all patients within one min of clamping (P
