Large Artery Atherosclerosis: Extracranial and Intracranial

Seminars in Neurology, 2017
AbstractLarge vessel atherosclerotic disease (affecting both intracranial and extracranial arteries) is a highly prevalent cause of stroke. In this review, the authors describe the epidemiology, evaluation, diagnosis, and therapeutic aspects of large-vessel atherosclerotic disease.

Intracranial atherosclerosis: From anatomy to pathophysiology

International Journal of Stroke, 2017
Background Intracranial atherosclerotic stenosis is an important etiology subtype of ischemic stroke. Stenosis severity was thought to be the main reference index for clinical treatment and research. However, stenosis could not reflect the ischemia risk completely, instead the hemodynamic state across the lesion,

Practical Approach to Management of Intracranial Atherosclerosis

Current Treatment Options in Cardiovascular Medicine, 2015
Intracranial atherosclerosis (ICAS) is one of the most frequent causes of stroke worldwide and has a high incidence of recurrent stroke. The therapeutic approaches for treating this high-risk disease have been evolving over time. The most recent, evidence-based approach is to focus on aggressive medical management of vascular risk factors and includes ...

MRI of Intracranial Atherosclerosis

2015
Intracranial atherosclerosis is an important risk factor for stroke, one whose importance has been historically underestimated in the medical literature. Further, techniques for the diagnosis of intracranial atherosclerosis have been slow; the small size and inaccessibility of the intracranial vessels have placed technical barriers in the way of ...

Stent-assisted angioplasty for intracranial atherosclerosis

Neuroradiology, 2002
We report on two patients with intracranial atherosclerosis of the carotid artery or vertebral artery treated with stent-assisted angioplasty. Both patients have severe intracranial atherosclerosis (>70%) with refractory symptoms despite optimal medical treatment.

Metabolic syndrome and intracranial atherosclerosis

Neurology, 2005
Ischemic stroke occurs as a result of varying etiologies but commonly involves atherothrombosis of large or small cerebral vessels. The risk factors for both small and large vessel disease overlap and include diabetes, hypertension, hyperlipidemia, and smoking.

Adiponectin levels in patients with intracranial atherosclerosis

Neurology, 2007
Adiponectin is a protein secreted by adipose cells that improves insulin sensitivity and possesses antiatherogenic properties. In this study, we investigated the relationship between adiponectin levels and ischemic stroke subtype.Using clinical, imaging, and laboratory data, 231 consecutive patients admitted to a university medical center over a 2-year

Human intracranial atherosclerosis

Virchows Archiv A Pathologische Anatomie, 1973
Morphology of atheromatous plaques from human intracranial arteries was examined by light and electron microscopy. Overall morphology of lesions did not differ from those reported for other arterial beds. In the presence of an intact elastic membrane, lipid cores were localized only to the intima and covered with a fibromuscular cap. Lipid-filled cells

Management of Patients with Symptomatic Intracranial Atherosclerosis

International Journal of Stroke, 2006
Intracranial atherosclerosis is a common cause of stroke, accounting for about 50% of ischaemic stroke in Asia and 8% in North America. Many prospective studies have confirmed that intracranial stenosis is an independent predictor for poor outcomes such as recurrent vascular event and death, despite the use of antiplatelet agents. The annual event rate
