About this trial
In this multi-center prospective observational study within a cohort of symptomatic cerebral atherosclerotic stenosis (sCAS) patients, 850 subjects were planed to be enrolled to explore the relationship between cerebral autoregulation (CA) and stroke recurrence, determine the threshold values of CA parameter for predicting stroke recurrence associated with particular stenosis.
Eligibility criteria
This trial does not accept healthy volunteersQualifiers
Age ranging from 18 to 80, both genders
Unilateral internal carotid artery (ICA) or M1 segment of middle cerebral artery (MCA) stenosis (rate of stenosis ranging from 50-99%)
Acute ischemic cerebrovascular events (TIA or ischemic stroke) within cerebral stenotic artery supplying area
Onset of disease <30 d before enrollment
Disqualifiers
Vertebral artery (VA), basilar artery (BA), anterior cerebral artery (ACA), or posterior cerebral artery (PCA) stenosis; Bilateral internal carotid artery (ICA) or M1 segment of middle cerebral artery (MCA) stenosis(rate of stenosis ranging from 50-99%)
Patients who have received or plan to undergo intravascular interventional treatment/endarterectomy
Other intracranial diseases, including cerebral hemorrhage (primary or secondary), intracranial neoplasm, aneurysm, arteriovenous malformation, etc.
Evidence for embolic stroke, such as atrial fibrillation, prosthetic valve surgery, and suspected endocarditis, etc.
Trial population
Patients with a diagnosis of symptomatic cerebral atherosclerotic stenosis, were recruited according to Inclusion Criteria, mostly from the First Hospital of Jilin University, and partly from other hospitals.

Treatments tested in this trial
Cerebral autoregulation assessment
Diagnostic testCerebral autoregulation assessment will be conducted by specialized neurovascular ultrasound doctors during 0-3 and 10-30 days after stroke onset.The recorded data will be stored for further cerebral autoregulation analysis.
