Hypertension, intracranial arteriosclerosis, and structural brain changes in patients with TIA or ischemic stroke [PDF]
European Stroke JournalAbstract 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]
European Journal of NeurologyAbstractBackground 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 ...

Variations in intracranial arterial anatomy of the circle of Willis and their association with arteriosclerosis in patients with ischemic cerebrovascular disease [PDF]
International Journal of StrokeIntroduction: An estimated 20–31% of all people are born with a textbook anatomical configuration of the intracranial arteries comprising the Circle of Willis. Individuals with specific anatomical variants may be at elevated risk of intracranial arteriosclerosis, and possibly its sequelae of stroke and dementia,

Intracranial carotid arteriosclerosis and their prognosis in intracerebral hemorrhage [PDF]
European Stroke JournalAbstract Background Intracerebral hemorrhage (ICH) is a manifestations of sporadic cerebral small vessel disease, and the survivors are predisposed to higher long-term risks of vascular events. Intracranial carotid artery calcification (ICAC), a potential marker for arteriosclerosis, is a risk ...

CT-derived density of intracranial arteriosclerosis: a population-based cohort study. [PDF]
Eur RadiolAbstract Background The CT-derived density of coronary artery calcification is increasingly associated with the risk of ischemic heart disease. Whether this principle also applies to intracranial artery calcifications (IAC) and cerebrovascular disease risk is unknown, primarily due to the lack ...

Diagnostic and Therapeutic Strategies for Acute Intracranial Atherosclerosis-related Occlusions [PDF]
Journal of Stroke, 2017 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
