Scientists scan brain arteries to unlock why strokes keep coming back
NCT ID NCT03084523
Summary
This study aimed to understand why strokes often recur in people with hardened brain arteries, even with good treatment. Researchers used a special type of MRI scan with two different contrast agents to look for signs of inflammation in the artery walls of 30 stroke patients. The goal was to see if this inflammation could be a new target for future treatments to prevent more strokes.
