Summary

This trial will use high-resolution MRI to study the correlation between vessel wall enhancement (a marker of inflammation) and stroke risk in patients with cerebrovascular disease.

Who is the study for?
This trial is for adults who've had a recent ischemic stroke (within the last 14 days) and have significant intracranial artery narrowing (stenosis ≥50%). It's not suitable for those under 18, with atrial fibrillation history, severe carotid stenosis (>70%), pregnancy, contrast allergies, serious kidney issues, pacemaker or MRI contraindications, iron sensitivity or high ferritin/transferrin levels.
What is being tested?
The study tests Ferumoxytol Injectable Product as an MRI contrast agent to detect inflammation in brain arteries after a stroke. The goal is to understand if vessel wall enhancement on MRI can predict strokes by showing local inflammation within plaques in the brain's arteries.
What are the potential side effects?
Potential side effects of Ferumoxytol include nausea, dizziness, low blood pressure reactions at injection site like swelling or pain. There may also be risks associated with its use in patients with iron overload conditions.
