Brief Summary

Review the sponsor-provided synopsis that highlights what the study is about and why it is being conducted.

This is a prospective open enrollment biorepository to collect and evaluate blood and tissue collected during cerebrovascular procedures, which will then be used for the purposes of identifying biological markers, inflammatory cell infiltrates, and biological states in stroke and other cerebrovascular diseases in the human condition.

The study population will include up to 1000 subjects with cerebrovascular disease or suspected cerebrovascular disease. Male and female participants 18 years of age and older will be enrolled.

This protocol covers the procurement of biological samples from patients undergoing any cerebrovascular surgery and/or neurointerventional clinical procedure at University of Kentucky. Control participants will include patients undergoing non-emergent, elective diagnostic cerebral angiography as well as patients undergoing emergent angiogram cases.

This study represents the first time that tissue, clot and blood will be evaluated for the markers, proteins, and cytokines in human subjects undergoing cerebrovascular procedures.

By starting with the human condition, the investigators aim to minimize this loss in translation. Overall, this study will have a great impact on our knowledge of stroke pathology. In essence, this could fundamentally change not only how the investigators develop treatment strategies for the stroke patient population but allow us to individualize the treatment dependent on time after stroke, age, sex, and co-morbidities. Molecular techniques that are impractical when delivered systemically could be delivered locally to impede the early inflammation.

This research aims to advance understanding of cerebrovascular disease and to support the development of improved therapies.

Detailed Description

Dive into the extended narrative that explains the scientific background, objectives, and procedures in greater depth.

This is a prospective open enrollment biorepository to collect and evaluate blood and tissue collected during cerebrovascular procedures, which will then be used for the purposes of identifying biological markers, inflammatory cell infiltrates, and biological states in stroke and other cerebrovascular diseases in the human condition.

This research aims to advance understanding of cerebrovascular disease and to support the development of improved therapies.

The study population will include up to 1000 subjects with cerebrovascular disease or suspected cerebrovascular disease. Male and female participants 18 years of age and older will be enrolled.

Participants will be recruited from patients evaluated at University of Kentucky Chandler Hospital for cerebrovascular procedures . Participants with impaired capacity may be included as the pathology to be studied may impair their capacity.

The primary endpoints of the study will be evaluation of specific proteins and leukocyte populations in the human stroke clot, tissues and blood.

The following describes all study procedures and evaluations that are to be done as part of the study.

Baseline:

* Verify inclusion/exclusion criteria
* Obtain consent from the patient or Legally Authorized Representative (LAR).
* Medical history taken from medical record, participant and family to determine eligibility based on inclusion/exclusion criteria (Standard of Care)
* Medication history (Standard of Care)
* Baseline physical examination to include vital signs (Standard of Care)
* Premorbid Modified Ranking Score (mRS)
* NIH Stroke Scale (Standard of Care)
* BMI (Standard of Care)
* Cerebrovascular procedure (Standard of Care)
* Study Specimen Collection

Data points recorded may include:

* concomitant medications
* the vessel location of the thrombus or disease
* the time from Last Known Normal to vessel recanalization
* the TICI score
* the CTA collateral score at presentation
* the baseline serum bicarbonate
* the baseline O2 saturation
* Medical history /co-morbid conditions

Study Specimen Collection

This protocol covers the procurement of tissue samples, blood samples, and other biological samples from patients undergoing any cerebrovascular surgery and/or clinical procedure.

Any tissue or biological sample that is procured as part of a normal cerebrovascular procedures and which would otherwise be discarded can be collected under this protocol. Examples of these tissue samples include:

* Blood vessels (arterial or venous)
* Brain tissue
* Thrombus tissue
* AVM nidus from resection
* AVF nidus from resection
* Aneurysms if resected
* Carotid stenosis plaques from CEA

Peripheral blood samples may also be collected from patients. These are the only biospecimens that will be procured specifically for this research and that are not collected as part of normal cardiac care. These samples will consist of 5 to 10 cc of peripheral blood and may be collected:

* Prior to procedure
* Immediately after procedure
* At different time intervals after the procedure during the hospital stay. These samples will not exceed the frequency and volume limits detailed in the IRB regulations
* At the outpatient follow-up after procedure
* Annually at an office-visit
* Upon readmission if hospitalized
