About this trial
The present study aims at verifying the mutual effects between intracranial large artery atherosclerosis and cerebral small vessel disease on disease progression and prognosis by magnetic resonance imaging, and providing biomarkers for the early prevention and treatment of cerebrovascular disease.

Treatment groups
Trial outcomes
Primary outcomes
Progression in total cerebral small vessel disease burden
Total cerebral small vessel disease burden is assessed according to a sum of scores of white matter hyperintensity, cerebral microbleeds, lacunes and enlarged perivasular spaces on magnetic resonance imaging sequences.
Frequency of stroke recurrence
The percentage of symptomatic participants who suffer from stroke recurrence after enrollment in the territory of the targeted stenotic vessel.
Secondary outcomes
Frequency of stroke of asymptomatic participants
The percentage of asymptomatic participants who suffer from stroke after enrollment in the territory of the targeted stenotic vessel.
