Intracranial Arteriosclerosis Is Not Associated With Cerebral Amyloid Deposition [PDF]
BACKGROUND Intracranial arteriosclerosis and cerebral amyloid beta (Aβ) are both involved in the etiology of Alzheimer's disease (AD) dementia, but the direct link between these two pathologies remains elusive.

Hypertension, Intracranial Arteriosclerosis, and Structural Brain Changes in Patients With TIA or Ischemic Stroke [PDF]
Abstract Background Hypertension is a major risk factor of structural brain changes, including atrophy and cerebral small vessel disease. Intracranial arteriosclerosis could be an underlying mechanism between hypertension and structural brain changes.

Prognostic Impact of Intracranial Arteriosclerosis Subtype After Endovascular Treatment for Acute Ischaemic Stroke [PDF]
AbstractBackground and PurposeThe influence of intracranial arteriosclerosis (ICAR) on acute ischaemic stroke (AIS) prognosis is unclear. This study explored its impact, focusing on ICAR subtypes categorized by intracranial carotid artery calcification (ICAC) patterns: intimal or atherosclerotic versus internal elastic lamina calcification or non ...

Ventriculomegaly without elevated intracranial pressure? Normal pressure hydrocephalus as a disorder of the cerebral windkessel [PDF]
ObjectiveNormal pressure hydrocephalus (NPH) is characterized by ventriculomegaly without elevations in intracranial pressure (ICP). One way of viewing hydrocephalus is as a disorder of the cerebral windkessel.

Endovascular Treatment of Large Vessel Occlusion Strokes Due to Intracranial Atherosclerotic Disease [PDF]
Mechanical thrombectomy (MT) has become the gold-standard for patients with acute large vessel occlusion strokes (LVOS). MT is highly effective in the treatment of embolic occlusions; however, underlying intracranial atherosclerotic disease (ICAD ...

Diagnostic and Therapeutic Strategies for Acute Intracranial Atherosclerosis-related Occlusions [PDF]
Intracranial atherosclerosis-related occlusion (ICAS-O) is frequently encountered at the time of endovascular revascularization treatment (ERT), especially in Asian countries. However, because baseline angiographic findings are similar between ICAS-O and
