Article Abstract
Background And Purpose: Collateral flow in acute ischemic stroke is known as a predictor of treatment outcome and long-term prognosis. However, factors determining the initial collateral flow remain unclear. We investigated factors related to collateral flow in patients with acute ischemic stroke caused by large vessel occlusion (AIS-LVO) and further analyzed the results according to stroke etiology.
Methods: This was a retrospective study using prospective stroke registry data from a single university hospital from October 2014 to May 2021. AIS-LVO with middle cerebral artery M1 occlusion identified by pre-treatment multiphasic computed tomography angiography was included. Collateral flow score was graded on a 6-point ordinal scale according to pial arterial filling.
Results: A total of 74 patients [cardioembolism (CE): 57; large artery atherosclerosis (LAA): 17] was included. The mean age of all patients was 72.2 ± 11.7 years, and 37.8 % ( = 28) were men. Multivariate regression analysis showed that initial SBP [odds ratio (OR): 0.994; 95% confidence interval (): 0.990-0.998; = 0.002] and stroke etiology (: 0.718; 95% : 0.548-0.940; = 0.019) were independent factors of the collateral flow grade. Collateral flow grade was independently associated with initial SBP in the CE group (: 0.993; 95% : 0.989-0.998; = 0.004) but not in the LAA group (: 0.992; 95% : 0.980-1.004; = 0.218). Initial SBP was significantly correlated with NIHSS score in the CE group but not in the LAA group ( = 0.091, = 0.023; = 0.043, = 0.426, respectively).
Conclusions: Elevated initial SBP was associated with poor cerebral collateral flow and more severe symptoms in the CE group, but not in the LAA group in patients with AIS-LVO. These findings suggest differential effects of initial SBP elevation on collateral flow by stroke subtypes.

Background: Despite successful recanalization via mechanical thrombectomy (MT), only half of acute ischemic stroke (AIS) patients achieve functional independence. Post-MT hemodynamic features are insufficiently investigated, and the lack of bilateral comparisons limits individual assessment. Therefore, we aimed to explore how individualized hemodynamic features affect functional outcomes using quantitative digital subtraction angiography (Q-DSA).

Background: Preclinical studies have demonstrated that therapeutic ultrasound (TUS) increases perfusion in peripheral artery disease (PAD). This pilot study assessed the safety and effectiveness of a noninvasive TUS device in patients with advanced PAD.
Methods: A phased array of TUS transducers was fabricated on a wearable sleeve, designed to sonicate the posterior and anterior tibial arteries (and their collaterals) at the calf level.

Background: Ischemic stroke is a common cause of death worldwide and a main cause of morbidity. Presently, laser speckle contrast imaging, x-ray computed tomography, and magnetic resonance imaging are the mainstay for stroke diagnosis and therapeutic monitoring in preclinical studies. These modalities are often limited in terms of their ability to map brain perfusion with sufficient spatial and temporal resolution, thus calling for development of new brain perfusion techniques featuring rapid imaging speed, cost-effectiveness, and ease of use.
