Prevalence and Distribution of Intracranial Vessel Occlusion on Angiography and Its Association with Functional Outcome in Patients with Atrial Fibrillation Presenting with Ischemic Stroke

OBJECTIVES: To determine the prevalence and distribution of intracranial vessel occlusion identified on computed tomography (CT) or magnet resonance (MR) angiography and to explore its association with functional outcome in patients with atrial fibrillation (AF) and ischemic stroke. METHODS: Multicenter cohort study enrolling consecutive patients with AF with imaging-confirmed ischemic stroke who underwent CT- or MR-angiography on admission …
