Intracranial artery dissection (IAD) is a rare but serious vascular disease predominantly affecting young and middle-aged individuals. This condition is marked by a high incidence and significant disability rate. The increasing number of affected patients underscores the growing attention that the pathogenesis and treatment of IAD are receiving from scholars worldwide. However, there is currently no bibliometric analysis available in this research domain. This study aims to provide a comprehensive overview of the knowledge structure and research hotspots of IAD through the use of bibliometrics.
Articles about intracranial arterial dissection published from 2014 to 2024 were retrieved from the Web of Science Core Collection database. VOSviewer, CiteSpace, and Microsoft Excel were employed for bibliometric analysis.
In total, 943 articles from 67 countries and 1,448 institutions were included, with a particular focus on the United States and China. The number of publications showed an overall incremental trend, peaking in 2020. Capital Medical University, Mayo Clinic, Pusan National University, and University of California, San Francisco were the main research institutions. "World Neurosurgery" was the most popular journal in this field, while "Stroke" was the most commonly cited journal. Lawton Michael, Lanzino Giuseppe, and Yang Xinjian possessed the highest number of publications, with Debette being the most frequently cited author. "Dissection" and "stroke" were the most common keywords. Studies mainly focused on imaging-based diagnosis, vascular diseases, treatments, and complications. "Large vessel occlusion" "outcome" and "prevalence" were recent research hot topics.
This is the first bibliometric study that comprehensively summarizes the research trends in the field of intracranial artery dissection. We identified recent research frontiers and hot topics, providing a reference for researchers focusing on this field.
颅内动脉夹层（IAD）是一种罕见但严重的血管疾病，主要影响中青年个体。这种疾病发病率高且致残率显著。受影响患者数量的增加凸显了全球学者对IAD发病机制和治疗的关注度日益提高。然而，目前该研究领域尚无文献计量学分析。本研究旨在通过文献计量学全面概述IAD的知识结构和研究热点。
从Web of Science核心合集数据库中检索2014年至2024年发表的关于颅内动脉夹层的文章。使用VOSviewer、CiteSpace和Microsoft Excel进行文献计量分析。
共纳入来自67个国家和1448个机构的943篇文章，特别关注美国和中国。出版物数量总体呈上升趋势，在2020年达到峰值。首都医科大学、梅奥诊所、釜山国立大学和加利福尼亚大学旧金山分校是主要研究机构。《世界神经外科杂志》是该领域最受欢迎的期刊，而《中风》是被引用最多的期刊。Lawton Michael、Lanzino Giuseppe和杨新建的出版物数量最多，Debette是被引用最频繁的作者。“夹层”和“中风”是最常见的关键词。研究主要集中在基于影像的诊断、血管疾病、治疗和并发症。“大血管闭塞”“结局”和“患病率”是近期的研究热点。
这是第一项全面总结颅内动脉夹层领域研究趋势的文献计量学研究。我们确定了近期的研究前沿和热点，为关注该领域的研究人员提供了参考。
