ABSTRACT

Objective: To study and analyze the risk factors and imaging characteristics of intracranial main artery stenosis in acute ischemic cerebrovascular disease. Methods: 145 patients with acute ischemic cerebrovascular disease treated in our hospital from January 2020 to July 2021 were randomly selected as the research object. 118 cases of intracranial main artery stenosis in patients with acute ischemic cerebrovascular disease were analyzed in terms of etiology and risk factors. The risk factors and imaging characteristics were analyzed. Results: From the results of the study, multiple regression analysis of acute ischemic cerebrovascular disease shows that hypertension and diabetes are independent risk factors for intracranial stenosis, and gender, hypertension, diabetes, coronary heart disease, middle age and old age are independent risk factors for simultaneous extracranial-intracranial stenosis. The results were statistically significant (P < 0.05). Conclusion: There are many causes and risk factors of intracranial artery stenosis in patients with acute ischemic cerebrovascular disease. Intracranial artery stenosis is common in patients with acute ischemic cerebrovascular disease. Anterior circulation stenosis is more than posterior circulation stenosis. Intracranial artery is the most common involved vessel. Hypertension and diabetes are independent risk factors for intracranial stenosis.
