Collateral circulation stabilizes cerebral blood flow in patients with acute occlusion, but its prognostic role is less studied in intracranial atherosclerosis and appears different in moderate to severe stenosis. We aimed to study the associations between antegrade flow across stenosis, collateral flow via leptomeningeal anastomosis, and the neurological outcome and recurrence risk in patients with symptomatic intracranial stenosis.
