The effect of a long-lasting internal carotid artery
(ICA) stenosis on the diffusion and perfusion situation
in patients with an acute ischemic stroke is not well
understood. Within this context, it may be hypothesized
that an ICA stenosis leads to a more severe
hypoperfusion situation. On the other hand, an ICA
stenosis may be even beneficial in case of an acute
stroke due to a prior development of an improved
collateral situation or preconditioning of the brain
tissue. The objective of this study was to compare
lesion volumes as well as diffusion and perfusion
parameters in acute ischemic stroke patients with or
without a coexisting ICA stenosis.
