- Perfusion-Based Selection for Endovascular Reperfusion Therapy in Anterior Circulation Acute Ischemic Stroke
The authors attempted to determine if reperfusion therapy for anterior circulation acute stroke based on MR perfusion resulted in better outcomes at 3 months than that based on noncontrast CT. Perfusion imaging-selected patients had a better outcome than those selected with only noncontrast CT but MR perfusion- and CT perfusion-selected patients had similar outcomes. In this multicenter study, patients with acute stroke who underwent perfusion imaging were more than 2-fold more likely to have good outcomes following endovascular reperfusion therapy
- Association of White Matter Hyperintensities with Low Serum 25-Hydroxyvitamin D Levels
The relationship between white matter hyperintensities and serum vitamin D levels was assessed in adults. The authors found a significant relationship between vitamin D and white matter T2 hyperintensities in independent adult outpatients, especially those over 50 years of age, but no relationship between vitamin D levels and brain atrophy.
- Clinical and Angiographic Features and Stroke Types in Adult Moyamoya Disease
DSA was used to study patients with Moyamoya disease with acute stroke. Advanced Suzuki angiographic stages, aneurysms, arterial occlusions, and collateral flow including transdural anastomoses were present more often in patients with hemorrhage than in those with only ischemia. These findings are the main contributors to the development of hemorrhagic strokes in patients with Moyamoya disease.
