Brief Summary
This study encompasses the maintenance and utilization of a repository of samples from patients with cerebrovascular disease and stroke. The types of tissue taken are blood, cerebrospinal fluid (CSF), tissue, and microdialysis samples. Future analysis of these samples can potentially help investigators to better categorize groups of patients, understand the underlying etiology of these pathologies, identify markers that are associated with favorable or poor outcomes, and track changes that occur during the natural course of the disease or with treatment. This is a prospective observational study which will use samples from such patients to create this library which can be used to explore these questions in the future.
