- Fig 1.
A 70-year-old man with left hemiparesis and a baseline NIHSS score of 10 (intervention group). Axial FLAIR image (A) shows an infarct in the right periventricular and posterior limb of the internal capsule, showing diffusion restriction on diffusion-weighted image (B). MR angiogram shows no evidence of any major branch occlusion (C). Preprocedural right ICA diagnostic run (D) shows normal opacification of the MCA branches. Post–stem cell infusion right ICA run (E) shows similar findings, with normal opacification of all the branches. Axial FLAIR MR imaging at 6-month follow-up shows a reduction in infarct size. This patient had an mRS score of 1 at 6-month follow-up, and his outcome was considered good.
- Fig 2.
A 50-year-old man with right hemiparesis and an NIHSS score of 7 (intervention group). Axial FLAIR image (A) shows an infarct in the right cortical subcortical location showing diffusion restriction on DWI (B). MR angiogram shows no evidence of any major branch occlusion. Axial FLAIR MR imaging at 6-month follow-up shows a reduction in infarct size. This patient had an mRS score of zero at 6-month follow-up, and his outcome was considered good.
