Involvement of Matrix Metalloproteinase 9 in Vertebral Arterial Dissection With Posterior Circulation Ischemic Stroke

Background Spontaneous vertebral arterial dissection (VAD) is an important cause of posterior circulation ischemic stroke (PCS), but its pathogenesis remains elusive. Matrix metalloproteinase 9 (MMP‐9) is a gelatinase involved in inflammation process and several vascular diseases, such as aorta diss...
