(a) Transverse FLAIR MR image (6,500/120/2,000) obtained before CAS. Arrows indicate lesions on the left and right side. (b) Transverse FLAIR MR image (6,500/120/2,000) obtained after left-sided CAS demonstrates new hyperintense lesions and enlargement of preexisting lesions on the side of stent placement. Arrows indicate preexisting lesions; arrowheads indicate new lesions.
