Predictors of Intracranial Atherosclerotic Disease in Posterior Circulation: a Cohort Study
Sohag University
Summary
Early identification of intracranial atherosclerotic disease (ICAD) may impact the management of patients undergoing mechanical thrombectomy (MT). The aim of the study is to develop and validate a scoring system for pre-thrombectomy diagnosis of ICAD in posterior circulation large vessel/distal medium vessel occlusion strokes (LVOs/DMVOs).
Eligibility
- Age range
- 18+ years
