Cerebral small vessel disease (SVD) is a major contributor to stroke and dementia,
characterized by white matter hyperintensities (WMH) on neuroimaging. WMH are …

Background Leukoaraiosis (LA) severity is associated with poor outcome after mechanical
thrombectomy (MT) for acute ischemic stroke (AIS) caused by large vessel occlusion. This …

Objectives Severity of leukoaraiosis may mediate outcomes after reperfusion therapy in
acute ischaemic stroke (AIS) patients. However, the level of the association remains poorly …

Background: Cerebral white matter lesions (WMLs) have been associated with a greater risk
of poor functional outcome after ischemic stroke. We assessed the relations between WML …

Background Elderly patients account for a major Q2 proportion of ischemic strokes
worldwide, and the use of endovascular thrombectomy (EVT) for the elderly has been …

BACKGROUND AND PURPOSE: Acute leptomeningeal collateral flow is vital for
maintaining perfusion to penumbral tissue in acute ischemic stroke caused by large-vessel …

Background and purpose To determine the influence of the cerebral small vessel disease
(SVD) burden on collateral recruitment in patients treated with mechanical thrombectomy …

Favorable cerebral collateral circulation contributes to hindering penumbral tissue from
progressing to infarction and is associated with positive clinical outcomes after stroke. Given …

Background and Objective Microvascular failure might result in the collapse of cerebral
collaterals. However, controversy remains regarding the role of leukoaraiosis (LA) in …

We investigated the association between cerebral small vessel disease (CSVD) and
ipsilateral leptomeningeal collateral (LMC) status in patients with symptomatic intracranial …
