Plaque Steepness is Associated with Hemodynamics in Patients with Atherosclerotic Middle Cerebral Artery Stenosis.
OBJECTIVE To evaluate the relationship between plaque steepness and hemodynamics in middle cerebral artery (MCA) stenosis based on high-resolution magnetic resonance imaging and computational fluid dynamics. METHODS Eighty consecutive patients accompanying with unilateral atherosclerotic MCA stenosis (50%-99%) were p...
