Management of patients with Severe Intracranial Arterial
Stenosis (SIAS) at risk of stroke events recurrence
remains controversial. A better characterization of
these patients might be helpful to define therapeutic
strategy. BOLD fMRI to hypercapnic challenge has been
proposed to identify impaired cerebrovascular reserve
(CVR BOLD fMRI). We conducted a prospective study in 35
patients referred for a SIAS to estimate CVR BOLD fMRI,
and compared their data a 100 volunteers dataset.
Eighteen patients out of 35 had significantly impaired
CVR. Thus, CVR BOLD fMRI could be helpful to better
select patients with SIAS for more invasive treatment.
