Overview
Brief Summary
We enrolled patients with subacute IS, associated with moderate-to-severe stenosis of the unilateral cervical internal carotid artery, who underwent 4D ASL. Perfusion levels and collateral circulation were compared between groups with favorable prognosis (modified Rankin scale [mRS] ≤ 2) and poor prognosis (mRS > 2).

- •Performance of 4D ASL tests during hospitalization.
Exclusion Criteria
- •Moderate-to-severe stenosis/occlusion of the contralateral internal carotid artery/middle cerebral arteries.
- •Age ≤ 18 years old.
- •Cardioembolic cerebral infarction.

- •Claustrophobia or the presence of intracranial metal implants, cochlear implants, or pacemakers.
Outcomes
Primary Outcomes
Modified Rankin Scale(mRS) score after 3 months of onset
Time Frame: 3 months
mRS scores range from 0 to 6, where 0 indicates no symptoms, 3 indicates moderate disability, 4 indicates moderately severe disability, 5 indicates severe disability, and 6 indicates death. Patients were categorized into a good prognosis group (mRS ≤ 2) and a poor prognosis group (mRS \> 2).
