Abstract:
Objective:To investigate the characteristics and distribution of plaque of patients with mild middle cerebral artery(MCA)stenosis by using three dimensional(3D)high-resolution magnetic resonance imaging(3D HR-MRI),and the correlation between that and the occurrence of ischemic stroke.Methods:The clinical data of 64 patients with mild MCA stenosis who admitted to Beijing Huairou hospital from March 2020 to March 2022 were retrospectively analyzed.They were divided into symptomatic group(n=30)and asymptomatic group(n=34)according to whether occurred transient ischemic cerebral attack or ischemic cerebral stroke.The degree and distribution of plaque enhancement between the two groups were assessed and analyzed,and the correlation of plaque features in HR-MRI and ischemic stroke was analyzed.Results:There were a total of 71 plaques in 64 patients,including 30 responsible plaques and 41 non-responsible plaques.The enhancement degree of responsible plaques was significantly stronger than that of non-responsible plaques,and the difference was statistically significant(Z=5.645,P<0.05).Compared with non-responsible plaques,the responsible plaques more concentrated at the dorsal and upper walls of MCA,and the probability of occurring positive remodeling of responsible plaques was greater than that of non-responsible plaques,with statistical significance(x2=7.658,P<0.05).Conclusion:In patients with mild MCA stenosis,the degree enhancement and distribution location of plaque,and positively remodeling index of vessel are closely related to the occurrence of ischemic cerebral stroke.
