Association between intracranial aneurysm wall enhancement and intracranial atherosclerotic plaque: a cross-sectional study using high-resolution vessel wall imaging.

ABSTRACT:

Background

Intracranial aneurysms and intracranial atherosclerosis are prevalent cerebrovascular diseases, and individuals with atherosclerosis have a higher incidence of aneurysms than those without atherosclerosis. However, few studies have conducted combined analyses to investigate the potential association between intracranial aneurysms and intracranial atherosclerosis. This retrospective cross-sectional study aimed to investigate the association between the characteristics of the aneurysm wall and intracranial large arterial plaque using high-resolution vessel wall imaging (HR-VWI).

Methods

Hospitalized patients diagnosed with anterior circulation unruptured intracranial aneurysms (UIAs), who were diagnosed at Huashan Hospital of Fudan University in Shanghai, China, bet
