Postprocedurally, 7.3% (8\/110) of patients were found to have ischemic DWI lesions. They were asymptomatic in all patients. Follow-up at 90 days was available in 88.2% (97\/110) of patients with excellent functional outcome (modified Rankin Scale score 0\u20131) in 95.9% (93\/97).<\/jats:p>\n               <\/jats:sec>\n
