Importance of every part of the arterial tree in acute ischemic
stroke
Site of occlusion
Functionality of leptomeningeal collaterals
Background
No hemodynamic information
Four-dimensional MR angiography (dMRA) is a time-resolved sequence
that
enables the hemodynamic study of cerebral blood vessels. Mainly
used in arterio-venous malformation and vascular tumours.
Background
We evaluated the ability of dMRA to determine the grade of
occlusion and collateral
blood flow in acute ischemic stroke patients.
Purpose
Consecutive patients undergoing 3T-MRI within 12h of anterior
circulation large artery occlusion
MR protocol
TE 1.17ms
TR 3.15ms

Results
dMRA at 3T is a fast, direct, feasible, noninvasive, reliable way
to assess collateral circulation
This technique provides profound insights into hemodynamic
alterations in acute stroke patients
dMRA is potentially useful for the evaluation of vascular occlusion
and secondary effects throughout the vascular system; future
studies should explore this role.
