Primary Outcome Measures:

Arterial spin labeling in magnetic resonance imaging to assess collateral blood flow [ Time Frame: performed one time prior to surgery ]


Enrollment:	120
Study Start Date:	April 2009
Study Completion Date:	November 2013
Primary Completion Date:	November 2013 (Final data collection date for primary outcome measure)

Arms	Assigned Interventions
Experimental: Moyamoya, acute stroke, other Approximately 210 participants will be enrolled, including the following groups: 60 Moyamoya patients, 60 acute stroke patients, 30 healthy participants and 60 patients with diagnosis unspecified	Drug: Xenon as contrast agent Other Name: XeMED contrast agent

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.
