This research aims to explore the relationship between middle cerebral artery tortuosity and the recurrence of ischemic events in stroke patients.
Analyzed tortuosity index of culprit middle cerebral artery in patients with M1-ICAD-related stroke.
Compared tortuosity indices with the incidence of ipsilateral ischemic events.
Lower tortuosity index correlated with higher risk of recurrent ipsilateral ischemic events.
Specific numerical data not provided, but trend indicates a significant association.
Abstract
In patients with M1-ICAD-related stroke, lower tortuosity index of culprit MCA is associated with a higher risk of recurrent ipsilateral ischemic events.
