Key requirements

Who can take part, as listed by the sponsor. Only the study team can confirm whether you are eligible, so take this list to your doctor.

  • Ages 18 to 60 years
  • All sexes
  • No healthy volunteers
  • Adult

Study population: Patients diagnosed with MMD in Beijing Tiantan Hospital will be recruited. Eligibility will be determined through a checklist of inclusion and exclusion criteria.

Who may be able to join

  • The imaging examination meets the diagnostic criteria for moyamoya disease;
  • Sign the informed consent form;
  • Age ≥18 years old;
  • Baseline mRS score ≤2 points;
  • The patient receives revascularization/conservative treatment;
  • There is at least 1 imaging follow-up result.

Who cannot join

  • Patients with atherosclerosis, autoimmune diseases, meningitis, Down syndrome, cranial trauma, or those who have undergone radioactive head irradiation, as these conditions may lead to secondary cerebrovascular disease and contribute to the development of Moyamoya syndrome;
  • Individuals under the age of 18;
  • Participants who refuse to take part in this study;
  • Pregnant patients;
  • Those with concurrent intracranial aneurysms, cerebrovascular malformations, brain tumors, or hydrocephalus;
  • A history of stroke occurring more than three months prior to the diagnosis of Moyamoya disease;
Show all 11Show fewer
  • Individuals with a history of coronary heart disease or previous cardiovascular and cerebrovascular surgical interventions, including cerebral revascularization, intracranial artery stent implantation, carotid artery stenting, endarterectomy, coronary artery bypass grafting, or coronary stent implantation;
  • Allergies to contrast media;
  • Patients with missing imaging data or whose image quality cannot be analyzed;
  • Individuals who refuse or are unable to undergo imaging follow-up;
  • Patients receiving other types of lipid-lowering drug treatments.

What is being measured

The primary outcome is the main question the study is designed to answer.

  1. Rate of participants experiencing cerebrovascular events (TIA, ischemic stroke, or hemorrhagic stroke)

    The occurrence of cerebrovascular events, including TIA, ischemic stroke, or hemorrhagic stroke, will be assessed over an 18-month follow-up period.

    Measured: 18 months during follow-up

Secondary outcomes (7)
  1. Changes in Neurological Function (mRS, NIHSS) at 12 and 18 Months After Treatment

    The mRS and NIHSS will be used to assess changes in neurological function at 12 and 18 months after treatment.

    Measured: 12 and 18 months during follow-up

  2. Changes in Cognitive Function (MoCA, MMSE) at 12 and 18 Months After Treatment

    The MoCA and MMSE will be used to evaluate changes in cognitive function at 12 and 18 months after treatment.

    Measured: 12 and 18 months during follow-up

  3. Structural Remodeling of the Internal Carotid Artery Terminal and Middle Cerebral Artery Wall at 12 and 18 Months After Treatment

    High-resolution magnetic resonance vessel wall imaging will be used to evaluate structural remodeling changes in the internal carotid artery terminal and middle cerebral artery wall at 12 and 18 months after treatment.

    Measured: 12 and 18 months during follow-up

  4. Changes in Cerebral Blood Perfusion at 12 and 18 Months After Treatment

    ASL will be used to assess cerebral blood perfusion changes at 12 and 18 months after treatment.

    Measured: 12 and 18 months during follow-up

  5. Rate of New Cerebral Infarcts at 12 and 18 Months After Treatment

    The occurrence of new cerebral infarcts at 12 and 18 Months after treatment will be evaluated using MRI.

    Measured: 12 and 18 months during follow-up

  6. Hemodynamic Changes at the Internal Carotid Artery Terminal at 12 and 18 Months After Treatment

    4D-Flow MRI and hemodynamic analysis will be used to evaluate changes in hemodynamics at the internal carotid artery terminal at 12 and 18 months after treatment.

    Measured: 12 and 18 months during follow-up

  7. Changes in Blood Lipid Levels at 12 and 18 Months After Treatment

    Blood lipid levels will be measured and compared at 12 and 18 months after treatment.

    Measured: 12 and 18 months during follow-up
