Ischaemic stroke results from acute arterial occlusion leading to focal hypoperfusion.
Thrombolysis is the only proven treatment. Advanced neuroimaging techniques allow a …

The brain vasculature has been increasingly recognized as a key player that directs brain
development, regulates homeostasis, and contributes to pathological processes. Following …

Introduction We investigated circle of Willis (CoW) completeness in relation to the risk of
future ischemic stroke in patients without prior cerebrovascular disease. Methods We …

Purpose We aim to provide prevalence and pattern of anatomical variants of circle of Willis
in over one thousand ischemic stroke patients compared to an age-and sex-matched control …

Artery remodeling, described as a change in artery structure, may be responsible for the
increased risk of cardiovascular disease with aging. Although the risk for stroke is known to …

Fetal-type or fetal posterior cerebral artery (FPCA) is a variant of cerebrovascular anatomy in
which the distal posterior cerebral artery (PCA) territory is perfused by a branch of the …

The blood supply to the brain divides into an anterior and posterior circulation. The anterior
circulation derives blood from the bilateral internal carotid arteries (ICA) and supplies blood …

This article is intended to provide a review of clinically relevant neurovascular anatomy. A
solid understanding of the vascular anatomy of the brain and spine are essential for the safe …

We describe a patient-specific simulation based investigation on the role of Circle of Willis
anatomy in cardioembolic stroke. Our simulation framework consists of medical image …

Background An incomplete circle of Willis (CoW) has been associated with a higher risk of
stroke and might affect collateral flow in large vessel occlusion (LVO) stroke. We aimed to …
