Association between perforator stroke after middle cerebral artery elective stenting and arterial remodeling patterns: a high-resolution MRI-based retrospective cohort study.

ABSTRACT:

Background

Patterns of arterial remodeling may be associated with outcomes in patients with severe middle cerebral artery (MCA) stenosis after endovascular treatment (EVT). This study aims to investigate the potential correlation between arterial remodeling patterns in patients with severe MCA stenosis, and plaque characteristics and procedure-related perforator stroke (PS).

Methods

Consecutive patients with MCA atherosclerotic disease who underwent EVT at the First Affiliated Hospital of Zhengzhou University from January 2018 to June 2023 were retrospectively enrolled in this study. The clinical and surgical data of the patients were evaluated. Remodeling index values >1.05, 0.95-1.05, and <0.95 indicated positive remodeling (PR), intermediate remodeling (IR), and negative
