#ICAD Tweetorial: Intracranial atherosclerotic disease is the most common cause of stroke worldwide accounting for nearly 10% of ischemic strokes in the United States and up to 50% of ischemic strokes in China.
SAMMPRIS showed that the risk of recurrent events in medically treated ICAD patients was 6.6% at 3 months and 12.2% at 1 year but post-SAMMPRIS studies using real world data demonstrated a rate as high as 25% at 90-days (Stroke. 2017 Aug; 48(8): 2158–2163) @ShyamSprabhak
In #ICAD, rupture of intracraial atherosclerotic plaque leads to thrombus formation. Smaller thrombi can therefore break loose and embolize distally causing distal infarcts. Also, the unstable plaque can extend to occlude perforating branches leading to deep perforator infarcts.
