Hemodynamics is associated with vessel wall remodeling in patients with middle cerebral artery stenosis

ConclusionsHemodynamics plays a role in atherosclerotic plaques and vessel wall remodeling. Individuals with greater hemodynamic values might be more prone to stroke.Key Points• Stenotic plaques in middle cerebral artery with positive remodeling have smaller lumen area and larger resp. higher plaque area, normal wall index, translesional wall shear stress ratio, and wall shear stress than negative remodeling.• The remodeling index and plaque area are positively correlated with translesional wall shear stress ratio.• Hemodynamic may help to understand the role of positive remodeling in the development of acute stroke.
