1. Risk of stroke recurrence is not solely affected
by the degree of anatomical stenosis.
2. Haemodynamic changes across the stenosed vessel are as important as the degree of luminal narrowing in terms of implication on stroke risk.
3. Studying haemodynamic changes in the cerebral circulation is feasible with computational fluid dynamics technique coupling to various imaging modalities, including computed tomographic angiography.
