Prestroke statin use enhances collateralization in acute ischemic stroke patients.

CONCLUSIONS: Our findings suggest that prestroke statin use was associated with good leptomeningeal collaterals and clinical outcomes in acute ischemic stroke (AIS) patients presenting with occlusion of the middle cerebral artery. However, clinical studies should be conducted to verify this claim. PMID: 32925118 [PubMed - as supplied by publisher]
