TPO-Ab plays a role in arterial remodeling in patients with intracranial stenosis

Intracranial stenosis (ICS), the common cause of ischemic stroke worldwide, is associated with a high risk of recurrent stroke. We aimed to investigate the relationship between arterial remodeling and antithyroid peroxidase-antibody (TPO-Ab) level in ICS and the effect of TPO-Ab level on the migration of vascular smooth muscle cells (VSMCs).
