Association between Internal Carotid Artery Tortuosity and Hemorrhagic Transformation in Patients with Acute Ischemic Stroke
We identified a paradoxical relationship between ICA tortuosity and hemorrhagic transformation after acute ischemic stroke. Patients with more severe tortuosity experienced fewer hemorrhagic transformations, and vice versa. These findings highlight the potential of ICA tortuosity as a marker for identifying high-risk patients.
