Carotid Siphon Calcification Predicts the Symptomatic Progression in Branch Artery Disease With Intracranial Artery Stenosis

CONCLUSIONS: We found that carotid siphon calcification was associated with BAD and its computed tomography values could predict the symptomatic progression in patients with intracranial arterial atherosclerotic disease and BAD, indicating the important role of carotid calcification in B-type intracranial arterial atherosclerotic disease.REGISTRATION: URL: http://www.chictr.org.cn; Unique identifier: ChiCTR1800018315.PMID:35652332 | DOI:10.1161/ATVBAHA.122.317670
