Cerebrovascular diseases are a group of disorders affecting the cerebral vascular system, including but not limited to ischemic stroke, hemorrhagic stroke, cerebral vascular malformations, and aneurysms. These conditions can disrupt blood supply, causing damage to brain tissues and resulting in cognitive impairment, motor dysfunction, or other neurological deficits. Preventive measures involve maintaining a healthy lifestyle, undergoing regular check-ups, and managing potential risk factors.
Effective treatment is crucial for reducing the risk and mitigating the impact of cerebrovascular diseases. Surgical procedures and minimally invasive interventions are two primary treatment modalities for cerebrovascular diseases. Interventional treatments involve intravascular repairs, such as thrombolysis or stent implantation. Surgical procedures encompass aneurysm repair, thrombus removal, and arterial bypass surgery. Stem cell therapy is a novel treatment method that harnesses the biological properties of stem cells to repair, replace, or modulate damaged tissues or organs. These cells can differentiate into various cell types and possess self-renewal capabilities. During the treatment process, stem cells are typically introduced into the patient's body through injection or transplantation, aiming to facilitate tissue repair and regeneration. Stem cells play a potentially significant role in the treatment of cerebrovascular diseases. They can differentiate into neurons, vascular cells, and release growth factors, aiding in the restoration of damaged neural and vascular tissues. This provides new avenues for treating cerebrovascular diseases such as stroke and aneurysms.
This research topic aims to bring together professionals worldwide to share the latest research, innovative treatment approaches, and clinical experiences. By fostering interdisciplinary collaboration across neurology, cardiology, and surgery, the research topic seeks to address treatment challenges, offer advanced medical education resources, and drive scientific advancements in cerebrovascular disease treatment. Through the publication of high-quality articles, the research topic aims to impact clinical practices, guide decision-making, and provide authoritative information to the global medical community on cerebrovascular disease treatment. Ultimately, the goal is to enhance patient care and improve overall quality of life through the dissemination of cutting-edge knowledge and advancements in the field.
We welcome articles on the subjects of, but not limited to:
1. The effectiveness of surgical or interventional treatments, both in the short and long term, for cerebrovascular conditions, including intracranial aneurysms, Moyamoya disease, and arteriovenous malformations.
2. Comparison of the effectiveness and safety of surgical and interventional approaches in the treatment of cerebrovascular diseases.
3. Complications arising after surgical interventions for cerebrovascular diseases and innovative approaches to resolution.
4. Exploration of the pros and cons of novel treatment approach using intracranial stenting for cerebral arteries.
5. Progress in the foundational research of stem cell therapy for cerebrovascular diseases and its prospective applications in clinical studies.
6. Customized implants or strategies for the endovascular treatment of intracranial aneurysms and cerebral vascular malformations.
