Department of Neurology Kyung Hee University Hospital Professor Ho-Gul Woo’s team research presentation
After the carotid artery enters the skull, it divides into the middle cerebral artery and the anterior cerebral artery, where there is arteriosclerosis, where the blood vessels become hard and blocked, also happens.able to do
Kyung Hee University Hospital Department of Neurology Professor Ho-Gul Woo’s team (Dae-Il Jang and Seong-Hyeok Heo of Neurology, Kyung-Mi Lee of Radiology, Professor Hyuk-Ki Kim, and Professor Beom-Jun Kim of Neurology in Asan Medical Centre) ‘a comparative study on hemodynamic characteristics according to the mechanism of cerebral infarction caused by atherosclerosis of the middle cerebral artery’, and published the paper in the JOURNAL OF STROKE, an international journal at the SCIE level.
Based on the image information of 46 patients with atherosclerosis in the middle cerebral artery and 64 patients with cerebral infarction, the professor’s team divided the middle section of the cerebral artery into five points and compared and analyzed the hemodynamic characteristics. Sixty-four patients with cerebral infarction included 32 each by mechanism (arterial-arterial, local occlusion).
Analyze Differences in the location of arteriosclerosis, the area where the vessel wall is contrast-enhanced, and the location of the maximum vessel wall shear stress (WSS) by patient groupIt was noticed that there was also Variation in vessel wall shear stress (WSS) was more pronounced in patients with cerebral infarction caused by an arterio-arterial mechanism.
Professor of Neurology Kyung Hee Woo Ho-geol University Hospital “Through hemodynamic analysis, it was confirmed that even in the case of cerebral infarction in the same part of the middle cerebral artery, the mechanism of the event could be different depending on the location of the occlusion and the size of the lesion.”“This study is of great significance as it confirms the differences and characteristics of the mechanism of cerebral infarction caused by atherosclerosis of the middle cerebral artery, which were not known until now,” he said.
