Computational fluid dynamics modeling of symptomatic intracranial atherosclerosis may predict risk of stroke recurrence.

Patients with symptomatic intracranial atherosclerosis (ICAS) of ≥ 70% luminal stenosis are at high risk of stroke recurrence. We aimed to evaluate the relationships between hemodynamics of ICAS revealed by computational fluid dynamics (CFD) models and risk of stroke recurrence in this patient subse...
