Large artery atherosclerosis and cerebral microbleeds / 国际脑血管病杂志

ABSTRACT

Large artery atherosclerosis and the vascular stenosis caused by it are the important causes of ischemic stroke. Cerebral microbleeds are an imaging manifestation of cerebral small vessel disease. Intracranial large blood vessels and small blood vessels are structurally continuous, simultaneously affected by hemodynamics, and exposed to overlapping risk factors, so both of them may coexist in the same organism. This article reviews the research progress of the relationship between large artery atherosclerosis and cerebral microbleeds in recent years.
