Treatment of Intracranial Atherosclerotic Stenosis: Current Debates and Future Directions

open access: yes, 2022
Intracranial atherosclerotic stenosis (ICAS) is a leading cause of ischemic stroke, especially in Asia. Since the publication of high-quality randomized controlled trials conducted by the United States in 2011, ICAS has been a subject of controversy and ...

Evaluation of Intensive Statins and Proprotein Convertase Subtilisin/Kexin Type 9 Inhibitors on Intracranial Artery Plaque Stability: A Prospective Single‐Arm Study

open access: yesJournal of the American Heart Association: Cardiovascular and Cerebrovascular Disease
Background Intracranial atherosclerotic stenosis is a leading cause of ischemic stroke and recurrent events due to plaque instability. High‐resolution magnetic resonance imaging identifies plaque enhancement as a key marker of instability.

Wingspan Stenting for Intracranial Atherosclerotic Stenosis

open access: yesNeurosurgery, 2013
Intracranial atherosclerotic stenosis (ICAS) is responsible for 9% to 37% of ischemic strokes.To evaluate the clinical outcome and risk factors for in-stent restenosis (ISR) after treatment of ICAS with a Wingspan stent.Seventy-seven patients with 79 total target ICAS > 60% (mean, 79.9 ± 8.4%; symptomatic ICAS, 96.2%) underwent attempted treatment with

Regional High Wall Shear Stress Associated With Stenosis Regression in Symptomatic Intracranial Atherosclerotic Disease

open access: yes, 2020
Background and Purpose: Understanding the mechanisms underlying progression/regression of symptomatic intracranial atherosclerotic stenosis (sICAS) will inform secondary prevention of the patients. Focal wall shear stress (WSS) may play an important role,

Aspirin against Atherosclerotic Intracranial Arterial Stenosis

open access: yesJournal of Neurology & Neurophysiology, 2016
There is no doubt that atherosclerosis is a chronic inflammatory disease in the inner wall of the arteries caused by the laws of hydrodynamics and environmental chemicals present into the bloodstream. Atheromatous plaques located at the mouths of the perforating and collateral arteries originated from the supraclinoid carotids, distal end of the ...
