Contraindications: "Intolerance to blood flow reversal (e.g., isolated hemisphere)."
(The product "creates an arteriovenous shunt that has the ability to reverse the flow of blood at the treatment site of the internal carotid artery (ICA), removing embolic particles from the neurovascular circulation")
Can somebody explain the reference to isolated hemisphere here ?

isolated hemispere
In this context the "isolation" refers to removal of cross-over blood flow from the opposite side of the brain. This condition could exist due to congenital abnormality, disease or surgery.
It is a contraindication because the isolated hemisphere would then be left with no circulation at all. That is not considered to be a good thing.
