Wider Intracranial Arteries, Not Cranial Arterial Stenosis, Track With Lacunar Stroke and Cerebral Small-Vessel Disease

By MedXY 06/10/2026

In a prospective mild stroke cohort, cranial arterial stenosis was not linked to cSVD, whereas basilar dolichoectasia and wider intracranial arteries were strongly associated with lacunar stroke, higher cSVD burden, incident infarcts, and white matter lesion progression.
