Computer modelling of anterior circulation stroke: Proof of concept in Cerebrovascular Occlusion

Background: Current literature emphasizes the role of the Circle of Willis (CoW) in salvaging ischemic brain tissue but not that of leptomeningeal anastomoses (LA). We developed a computational model of the cerebral circulation to 1) evaluate the roles of the CoW and LA in restoring flow to the supe...
