Association between Intracranial Stenosis and Cerebro-Renal Microvascular Damage in a Latin American Cohort. (P1.151)

CONCLUSIONS: physiopatological mechanisms involved in IS and extracranial stenosis (carotid artery disease, CHD and peripheral artery disease) seem to be different. IS is associated with higher burden microvascular damage, which could be related to occlusion of penetrating arteries, embolism to border-zone areas or hemodynamic mechanisms associated with IS.Disclosure: Dr. Zurru has nothing to disclose.
