Article Synopsis
- The study focused on how cerebrovascular stenosis in children with sickle cell anemia (SCA) affects treatment decisions for stroke prevention, particularly regarding chronic transfusion therapy.
- Researchers implemented a standardized magnetic resonance angiography (MRA) protocol at Montefiore Medical Center to reduce flow artifacts that could misinterpret stenosis severity.
- Results showed that, after the new protocol, six out of ten patients had their stenosis re-classified to a lower degree, which resulted in five patients no longer needing transfusion therapy.
