Description
Zhuhao Yin and colleagues report a 2026 retrospective study of brain artery narrowing. They test whether CT-derived flow reserve predicts another ischaemic event within a year. Their patients had symptomatic narrowing of the middle cerebral artery. The flow measure is borrowed from heart artery practice.
The sample held 124 patients with one-sided narrowing who had special CT scans. Computer models of blood flow were built from the scan images. Nineteen patients had a repeat event within the year. Their flow values were lower, at a median of 0.72 against 0.83 in others. A cut-off of 0.80 linked independently to recurrence after adjustment. The flow measure also beat simple narrowing degree at prediction.
