Abstract

Abstract: Cerebrovascular diseases (CVDs) are among the most serious diseases with high mortality and disability rates. The prevalent diagnosis and treatment methods of CVDs include imaging and interventional therapy. With the development of nanotechnology, large numbers of nanomaterials have been applied to the diagnosis and treatment of CVDs, mainly including carbon nanotubes, quantum dots, fullerenes, and dendrimers. In this review, the applications of nanomaterials in the field of diagnosis and treatment of CVDs, mainly including drug target delivery, imaging, therapy, endovascular treatment, and angiogenesis, are summarized. The applications of nanomaterials in the field of CVD are almost in the laboratory, and more effort is needed for clinical translation. The aim of this review is to provide useful information for future research and equipment development. Abstract : Nanomaterials are emerging with high potential in the field of disease diagnosis and treatment. This review summarizes the applications of nanomaterials for the diagnosis and treatment of cerebrovascular diseases in the recent 10 years. Main applications of nanomaterials include drug delivery, imaging, therapy, and endovascular treatment. This review also provides some guidance for future research.
