ABSTRACT
Objective To assess cerebrovascular reserve ( CVR) function in patients with internal border zone infarction(IBZI) induced by severe middle cerebral artery (MCA) stenosis, and investigate the impact on progression and outcome of the disease .Methods A total of 84 patients with unilateral severe MCA stenosis were selected . Hypercapnia was induced by holding breath .The change of blood flow velocity in MCA was measured by transcranial Doppler ( TCD ) to calculate CVR .According to CVR , patients were divided into impaired regional CVR group ( CVR 0.05 ) .Conclusion Impaired regional CVR may be predictive of subsequent progressive cerebral infarction and poor clinical outcomes in patients with IBZI induced by severe MCA stenosis .
