Primary Outcome Measures:
  • Arterial spin labeling in magnetic resonance imaging to assess collateral blood flow [ Time Frame: performed one time prior to surgery ] [ Designated as safety issue: No ]

Estimated Enrollment: 120
Study Start Date: April 2009
Estimated Study Completion Date: April 2014
Estimated Primary Completion Date: April 2014 (Final data collection date for primary outcome measure)
Groups/Cohorts
Moyamoya patients
60 MOyamoya patients will be enrolled.
Acute Stroke
60 acute stroke patients will be enrolled
normal and diagnosis unspecified
A sub-group of 60 patient without specified diagnoses and 30 normals will be enrolled.

Detailed Description:

In the early hours following large vessel occlusion, the ultimate severity of the stroke is largely determined by the ability of collateral flow networks to supply blood to ischemic tissue via circuitous routes that bypass the proximal clot. Robust collateral flow can improve response to thrombolytic therapy and decrease the risk of intracranial hemorrhage. Despite their central importance, collaterals during acute stroke are poorly understood, largely because assessment has required an invasive imaging test, cerebral angiography. This proposal assesses whether a noncontrast MRI perfusion technique, called arterial spin labeling (ASL), can yield important information about collateral flow.

  Eligibility

Genders Eligible for Study:   Both
Accepts Healthy Volunteers:   Yes
Sampling Method:   Probability Sample
Study Population

A total of 120 patients will be recruited (60 Moyamoya and 60 acute stroke). All Moyamoya patients will receive XeCT and MRI scans with ASL sequencing in addition to their standard clinical procedures. Acute stroke patients will receive 2 MRI studies each (one <24 hours from symptom onset, the other in the 3-5 day period for determination of final infarct size) and an acute xeCT study (totaling 120 MRI and 60 xeCT studies).

A subarm of the study will include an additional 60 patients and 30 normal subjects who will not receive xeCT or conventional angiography, but who will undergo a single 60 min MRI study with images acquired before and after 1 g of intravenous acetazolamide for the purposes of determining the feasibility of replacing xeCT-based methods.
