Cerebral Small Vessel Disease Does Not Affect Leptomeningeal Collateral Supply in Large-Vessel Occlusion

Cerebral small vessel disease (CSVD) has been linked to various neurological conditions, including acute ischemic stroke. However, research suggests that CSVD might not have a significant impact on leptomeningeal collateral supply in patients with large-vessel occlusion. A recent study published in the Journal of Cerebral Blood Flow & Metabolism aimed
