Objective Fractional flow (FF) reserve has been developed as a gold standard for coronary intervention. Intracranial FF is also valuable hemodynamic index to assess the severity of narrowing in intracranial atherosclerotic stenosis (ICAS). This study aims investigate predictive value assessing restenosis following endovascular treatment patients with symptomatic ICAS. Methods retrospective recruited 67 ICAS who received stenting between March 2019 and January 2024. was measured by dedicated...

Background: To date, PCSK9 inhibitors are well known for eliminating cardiac and cerebral artery ischemia events by lowering the serum lipid level. However, pathophysiological value of in-plaque expression is still unclear. Methods: Advanced plaques removed carotid endarterectomy were sectioned stained to identify pattern its co-expression with rupture-relevant markers. investigate correlation regional blood shear flow, hemodynamic characteristics analyzed using computational fluid dynamics,...

This study comparatively analyzed the hemodynamic changes resulting from various simulated stent-assisted embolization treatments to explore an optimal treatment strategy for intracranial vertebral artery fusiform aneurysms. An actual aneurysm case treated by large coil post-stenting (PLCS) was used as a control. A single of underwent preoperative and eight postoperative finite element simulations: PLCS [single dual Low-profile Visualized Intraluminal Support (LVIS)], Jailing technique...

Background and purpose A notable prevalence of subarachnoid hemorrhage is evident among patients with anterior choroidal artery aneurysms in clinical practice. To evaluate the risk rupture unruptured aneurysms, we conducted a comprehensive analysis factors subsequently developed two nomograms. Methods total 120 cases (66 54 ruptured) from 4 medical institutions were assessed utilizing computational fluid dynamics (CFD) digital subtraction angiography (DSA). The training set, consisting 98 3...

Background The aim of this study is to assess the feasibility identifying hemodynamic status intracranial atherosclerotic stenosis (ICAS) using angio-based fractional flow (FF) calculated from a single angiographic view, with wire-based FF as reference standard. Method retrospectively recruited 100 ICAS patients who underwent pressure wire measurement and digital subtraction angiography. AccuICAD software was used calculate FF, wire-measured value serving standard for evaluating accuracy,...
