BACKGROUND:Vascular regeneration,as one of the crucial repair processes after its onset,necessitates visual analysis between the two. OBJECTIVE:To analyze the literature on ischemic stroke and vascular regeneration in the past decade using bibliometrics and sort out the current status,hotspots,and future research trends in this field. METHODS:We used a bibliometric approach to search the Web of Science database for literature on ischemic stroke and vascular regeneration published between January 2011 and May 2023.The obtained data were systematically analyzed using the VOSviewer visualization software to identify the number of articles,countries,keywords,institutions,authors,citations,and trends. RESULTS AND CONCLUSION:We searched and selected 1 484 articles and found that the relationship between ischemic stroke and vascular regeneration has emerged as a research hotspot in the cerebrovascular field,with the number of published articles continuing to rise.Most of these articles were authored by institutions from China and the United States.Shanghai Jiao Tong University was the most cited institution.The most influential author was Hermann DM,whose article had been cited 1 003 times.The current hot research topics in the field include extracellular vesicles,microRNAs and mesenchymal stem cells,which are being studied for their correlations with relevant diseases.To conclude,the bibliometric analysis provides a visual analysis of ischemic stroke and vascular regeneration,which is found to be an emerging focus as well as a valuable reference for future trends and highlights in ischemic stroke and vascular regeneration.
