Key result
Stenotic middle cerebral artery thrombi cause distal artery-to-artery embolism in autopsy-confirmed recurrent stroke.
Case Report (n=1)
Answers are grounded in this paper and cite their sources.
The authors report an autopsy case with repeated transient ischemic attacks and subsequent strokes demonstrating evidence of artery-to-artery embolism from thrombi generated in the stenotic middle cerebral artery to the distal cortical branches. This case substantiates the existence of intracranial artery-to-artery embolism as a cause of transient ischemic attacks and subsequent strokes, and has potential relevance for therapy.

Masuda et al. (1987) conducted a case report in Transient ischemic attacks and strokes with middle cerebral artery stenosis (n=1). Thrombus formed in stenotic middle cerebral artery was evaluated on Intracranial artery-to-artery embolism to distal cortical branches causing transient ischemic attacks and strokes. Thrombi generated in a stenotic middle cerebral artery caused artery-to-artery embolism to distal cortical branches in 1 autopsy case with repeated TIAs and strokes.
