Abstract:
Intracranial atherosclerotic disease (ICAD) is an important cause of ischemic stroke. Accurate clinical and imaging evaluation is helpful to its hierarchical management and individualized treatment. With the gradual maturation of intracranial artery wall imaging technology, the stroke mechanism of ICAD can be further understood through plaque vulnerability characteristics and the optimal stroke prevention strategy can be developed. This article reviews the different vulnerable characteristics, evaluation methods and current research progress of intracranial atherosclerotic plaques.
