Background• Neurological symptoms of some patients with the
internal carotid artery (ICA) or the middle cerebral artery (MCA) occlusion are mild at onset but deteriorate day by day.
• Several days after the onset, the internal border zone (IBZ) infarcts occurs.
• However, it is not established how to treat them in a subacute stroke stage and how to improve their clinical outcome.
Purpose
The internal border zone (IBZ) means an arterial border zone differentiated from the cortical border zone(CBZ). The purpose of our retrospective study is to investigate whether or not angioplasty and/or stenting for the ICA or MCA occlusion in a subacute stroke stage can improve clinical outcome in severely disabled patients due to the internal border zone (IBZ) infarcts.
IBZ(A) and CBZ(B) infarcts
Contour map of frequency of affected sites in the IBZ (A) and CBZ (B) infarcts. The location of the IBZ can vary along the lateral ventricle, whereas the CBZ is distributed more heterogeneously as wedged areas that extend from the frontal and occipital horn of the lateral ventricle or within the paramedian white matter at the supraventricular level.

Patients (1)• Acute ischemic stroke patients• Period: Jan 2004 to Dec 2008• Onset-to arrival tine: within 72 hours• Emergency MRA showed the ICA or MCA occlusion • DWIs showed no extensive infarcts in the ICA or MCA
territory.• No cerebral hemorrhage on CT scans
Patients (2)
• Their neurological symptoms were mild at onset and modified Rankin Scale (mRS) was 2 or less then.
• They deteriorated day by day despite dual antiplatelets.• Modified RS (mRS) was 4 or more on the 7th day. • CT scans or MR images on the 7th day demonstrated the
internal border zone (IBZ) infarcts.
Groups of the patients
group E: patients who gave written informed consent and underwent
angioplasty and/or stenting for the ICA or MCA occlusion from 7 to 14 days after the stroke onset
group C: patients who did not.
Evaluation• Patients’ baseline features• NIHSS on admission• NIHSS on the 7th day• NIHSS on discharge• Hospitalization periods• mRS on discharge • mRS at 3 months
Compared between two groups.

Case(the MCA Occlusion)
A 63-year-old woman was admitted to our institution, since her right-sided hemiparesis deteriorated over 60 hours.

Clinical outcome of the patient
• NIHSS on the 3rd day: 23• NIHSS on the 7th day: 30• NIHSS on the 11th day: 18• Hospitalization periods: 11 days• mRS on discharge: 5
• mRS at 3 months: 3
ConclusionAngioplasty and stenting for the ICA or
MCA occlusion, even more than 7 days after the stroke onset, may be feasible and effective in improving their 3-month clinical outcome in severely disabled patients due to the internal border zone infarcts .
