Objective: To assess association between champagne bottle neck sign (CBNS) in carotid artery and intracranial hemorrhage in patients with moyamoya disease (MMD).

Methods: This retrospective study included 76 consecutive patients with MMD without definite risk factors associated with intracranial hemorrhage who underwent preoperative angiography from January 2016 to December 2017. CBNS was defined as luminal diameter ratio of internal carotid artery/common carotid artery ≤0.5 on angiography. The right and left cerebral hemisphere in each patient was separately identified as hemorrhagic and nonhemorrhagic. Association between CBNS and intracranial hemorrhage was analyzed.

Results: Of 76 patients with MMD, intracranial hemorrhage was found in 44 of 152 (28.9%) hemispheres, and 6.8% (3/44) had multiple events. Comparing carotid arteries without intracranial hemorrhage in ipsilateral hemispheres, patients with intracranial hemorrhage in the ipsilateral hemisphere had significantly smaller luminal diameter ratio of internal carotid artery/common carotid artery (0.49 ± 0.11 vs. 0.55 ± 0.12, P < 0.01) and higher prevalence of CBNS (63.7% vs. 41.7%, P = 0.01). Comparing hemispheres with intracranial hemorrhage, patients with ipsilateral carotid artery CBNS had significantly higher prevalence of hemorrhage in posterior territories than patients without CBNS (57.1% vs. 23.1%, P = 0.05). Logistic regression revealed that CBNS was significantly associated with ipsilateral intracranial hemorrhage before (odds ratio = 2.45; 95% confidence interval, 1.19-5.05; P = 0.02) and after (odds ratio = 3.43; 95% confidence interval, 1.50-7.87; P < 0.01) adjusting for female sex, lenticulostriate anastomosis, and choroidal anastomosis.

Conclusions: CBNS is significantly associated with intracranial hemorrhage in the ipsilateral hemisphere in patients with MMD, particularly intracranial hemorrhage in posterior territories.

Global regional and national burden of intracerebral hemorrhage between 1990 and 2021.

Intracerebral hemorrhage (ICH) represents one of the most devastating forms of stroke, characterized by spontaneous bleeding into the brain parenchyma. This neurological emergency carries a substantial burden of mortality and long-term disability worldwide. A comprehensive understanding of ICH's evolving global impact from 1990 to 2021 remains essential for healthcare planning and resource allocation.

Background And Purpose: Current evidence suggests that tentorial dural arteriovenous fistulas with endovascular treatment offer a high rate of occlusion and reduced procedural risks. Here we report the clinical and angiographic outcomes in patients with tentorial dural arteriovenous fistulas who underwent endovascular treatment as first-line treatment.

Materials And Methods: A retrospective analysis was conducted on 83 patients with tentorial dural arteriovenous fistulas treated at our center from April 2009 to November 2023 using endovascular treatment.

Background: The periprocedural management of antithrombotic medications in patients with chronic subdural hematoma (cSDH) after middle meningeal artery embolization (MMAE) or surgical evacuation is uncertain.

Methods: A systematic review was conducted across Medline, Embase, and Web of Science databases. We pooled proportions and risk ratios (RRs) for the meta-analysis with the corresponding 95% CIs.

Background: Cerebral hyperperfusion syndrome (CHS) is a rare but serious complication after carotid artery revascularization. This study aims to determine the impact of carotid artery stenting (CAS) modality on the incidence, severity and overall outcomes of CHS after carotid revascularization.

Methods: Data from patients who underwent CAS with either distal embolic protection (CAS+DEP) or transcarotid artery revascularization (TCAR) were obtained from the Vascular Quality Initiative (VQI) database 2016-2023.

Electronic address:

Background: Intracranial aneurysms (IAs) are pathological dilations occurring at major branch points of cerebral arteries, which can lead to aneurysmal subarachnoid hemorrhage (aSAH) upon rupture. Recent studies have identified developmental endothelial locus-1 (DEL1) as closely associated with IA, though its role remains not fully understood. This study aimed to investigate serum DEL1 level differences in IA patients and explore its function in vascular endothelial cells.
