Effects of cerebral small vessel disease on the outcome of patients with ischemic stroke caused by large artery atherosclerosis.

DISCUSSION: CSVD can significantly influence the clinical outcome of stroke in patients with cerebral infarction caused by LAA, and the methods to capture whole brain CSVD burden cross the spectrum of changes in CSVD imaging features may be useful for patient stratification in clinical trials. Further studies should be performed to validate the relationship between CSVD related brain damage and LAA stroke. PMID: 29543130 [PubMed - as supplied by publisher]
