About this Research Topic
Cerebrovascular disease is one of the most common diseases of the nervous system. The annual incidence rate is an average of 140 / 100000 ~ 200 / 100000 people worldwide. Due to different statistical standards, the annual mortality among countries shows great differences, ranging from the lowest 500 / 100000 to the highest 280 / 100000. Cerebrovascular diseases have the characteristics of a high incidence rate, high mortality, high disability rate, and high recurrence rate, which seriously affects the quality of life of patients, and has a huge burden on families and social economy. How to effectively reduce the incidence rate of cerebrovascular disease, improve the diagnosis and treatment technology of cerebrovascular disease, and improve the prognosis of cerebrovascular disease has become an urgent problem to be solved.
In recent years, great progress has been made in intravascular interventional technology, microsurgery, minimally invasive technology, diagnostic methods, surgical skills, and perioperative management of cerebrovascular diseases, but the mortality and disability rate of cerebrovascular diseases are still high, mainly due to the limitations of the etiology, mechanism, risk prediction and evaluation of cerebrovascular diseases, and the repair of brain function injury, resulting in the poor overall efficacy of cerebrovascular diseases.
In the face of cerebrovascular diseases with diverse forms and complex disease progression, it is difficult to establish a standardized clinical pathway, which also leads to great differences in treatment effects. With the progress of medical technology and interdisciplinary technology, the diagnosis and treatment of cerebrovascular diseases should be more accurate. Microsurgery, neuroendoscopic minimally invasive therapy, stereotactic technology, neuronavigation, multimodal imaging technology and intravascular therapy provide personalized multidimensional surgical treatment options for cerebrovascular diseases. Moreover, the rapid development of interdisciplinary disciplines such as imageomics, mechanomics, artificial intelligence, and disease prediction models of cerebrovascular diseases has provided a more comprehensive diagnosis and treatment basis for health management, risk assessment, and personalized precise treatment of cerebrovascular diseases.
Therefore, this Research Topic focuses on the microsurgery, minimally invasive treatment, precise diagnosis and treatment, disease risk assessment, and prognosis model of cerebrovascular diseases, and builds a bridge between imaging, bioinformatics, and other disciplines and clinical research, in order to improve the precise curative effect of cerebrovascular diseases. Authors are encouraged to submit Original Research and Review articles.
