About this trial
Intracranial atherosclerotic stenosis (ICAS) carries substantial stroke risk despite optimal medical treatment. Current risk stratification relies primarily on stenosis severity, but novel hemodynamic markers may improve prediction. In this multiple prospective registry study we aim to investigate whether regional hemodynamics, measured by a novel Magnetic resonance imaging-derived Pressure Ratio (MPR) technique, are associated with stroke risk in ICAS.
Eligibility criteria
This trial does not accept healthy volunteersQualifiers
Adults aged 18 to 80 years.
Intracranial atherosclerotic stenosis ICAS involving a culprit artery in the anterior circulation.
Intracranial arterial stenosis of 50% to 99% as measured by the WASID method using TCD, CTA, MRA, or DSA.
Written informed consent obtained from the participant or a legal representative.
Disqualifiers
Non-atherosclerotic intracranial lesions, including moyamoya disease, vasculitis, vascular dissection, autoimmune diseases, or congenital/genetic abnormalities.
More than 50% stenosis of the extracranial carotid artery on the ipsilateral side.
Large cerebral infarction involving more than one-half of the territory on DWI imaging, or a baseline modified Rankin Scale score ≥3.
Contraindications to antiplatelet therapy or statins.
Trial population
Patients with ICAS involving 50% to 99% stenosis of a major intracranial artery in the anterior circulation, including the internal carotid artery (ICA C6-C7 segment) and the middle cerebral artery M1 (MCA-M1) segment.
