AbstractBackground The incidence of thrombosis in patients with intracranial atherosclerotic stenosis (ICAS) remains unclear. Optical coherence tomography (OCT) has the potential to explore the vessel wall structure of posterior-circulation ICAS because of its relatively straight anatomical structure compared with that of the anterior cerebral arteries. This study aimed to determine the prevalence and characteristics of thrombosis in the posterior-circulation ICAS using OCT.

1 INTRODUCTION Ischemic stroke is one of the main causes of death and disability in the world, and its incidence is increasing year by year in developing countries, causing a heavy burden.1, 2 Carotid atherosclerotic stenosis (CAS) accounts for 15%–20% of the causes of ischemic stroke,3 especially in the Western Pacific region.4 Carotid endarterectomy can benefit symptomatic CAS patients with luminal stenosis of 70%–99%, but the benefit in symptomatic CAS patients with stenosis less than 70%...
