Intra-Arterial Therapy and Post-Treatment Infarct Volumes

Background and Purpose—The goal of reperfusion therapy in acute ischemic stroke is to limit brain infarction. The objective of this study was to investigate whether the beneficial effect of endovascular treatment on functional outcome could be explained by a reduction in post-treatment infarct volume. Methods—The Endovascular Treatment for Small Core and Anterior Circulation Proximal Occlusion ...

Intra-arterial nitroprusside treatment of acute experimental vasospasm.

The effect of intra-arterial sodium nitroprusside infusions on acute experimental basilar artery spasm was studied in dogs.
