About this trial
The primary objective of this study is to investigate the predictive value of High-resolution magnetic resonance vessel wall imaging for future stroke occurrence in patients with moderate to severe intracranial and extracranial artery stenosis.
The secondary objective is to explore the predictive value of baseline high-resolution magnetic resonance vessel wall imaging for plaque progression.

At least 18 years old;
Medium or severe stenosis of the internal carotid artery, middle cerebral artery, V4 segment of vertebral artery or basilar artery [stenosis degree: 50% ~ 99%, confirmed by CTA, MRA or DSA];
Accept high resolution magnetic resonance angiography; The patient or the legal representative of the patient is able and willing to sign an informed consent form
Disqualifiers
Non-atherosclerotic intracranial and extracranial artery stenosis, such as dissection, smoke disease, etc.;
There are contraindications to MRI, such as claustrophobia, metal implants, etc.;
Renal insufficiency, elevated serum creatinine (more than twice the upper limit of normal);
Patients with severe cardiopulmonary diseases were considered unsuitable for this study;
Trial population
Patients with moderate to severe stenosis (stenosis degree: 50% \~ 99%) in both intracranial and extracranial arteries were considered for enrollment in this study.

Trial outcomes
Primary outcomes
Lumen Stenosis Rate
The lumen stenosis rate is calculated using the 3D TOF-MRA measurement of the vertebral-basilar artery's narrowest diameter and the normal diameter at the proximal end. The calculation follows the Warfarin-Aspirin Symptomatic Intracranial Disease (WASID) standard formula: Lumen Stenosis Rate = \[1- (Narrowest Diameter / Normal Diameter at Proximal End)\] × 100%
Identify different plaque components
Secondary outcomes
Ejection index and maximum wall thickness
Select the narrowest lumen level and manually outline the lumen and wall boundary at the narrowest point. Ejection index = (maximum wall thickness-minimum wall thickness)/ maximum wall thickness
Wall thickness
maximum wall thickness, minimum wall thickness and average wall thickness
Patch load
Select the narrowest lumen level and manually outline the lumen and wall boundaries at the narrowest point. Mainly measure the lumen area (LA), wall area (WA), and normalized wall index (NWI). NWI = WA / (WA + LA) × 100%
Vascular reconstruction index RR
measured by the ratio of the outer wall area of the blood vessel in the lesion to that of the adjacent normal blood vessel
