Study on retrograde brain perfusion method. Internal jugular vein centesis retrograde brain perfusion by blood access.

Efficacy of retrograde perfusion of the cerebral vein with verapamil after focal ischemia in rat brain.

BACKGROUND AND PURPOSE For treatment of acute stroke, drug therapy administered systemically has been unreliable due to inadequate delivery of drug into ischemic tissue. We have developed a new method to deliver drugs into the ischemic tissue by retrograde perfusion of the cerebral vein. METHODS We examined in rats the effectiveness of administering verapamil into ischemic tissue by retrograd...

Unclamping the inferior vena cava during retrograde cerebral perfusion increases the safe range of retrograde perfusion pressures and improves brain perfusion.

We investigated the effect of different methods of management of the inferior vena cava (IVC) during retrograde cerebral perfusion (RCP) on the relationships between RCP pressure, regional cerebral blood flow, tissue oxygenation, and intracranial pressure (ICP). Fourteen pigs were subjected to hypothermic (15 degrees C) RCP at RCP pressures varying from 10 to 110 mmHg with clamping (closed grou...

Abnormal cerebral blood flow in methamphetamine abusers assessed by brain perfusion single emission computed tomography

Introduction:Amphetamines are central nervous system (CNS) stimulant substances and amphetamine abuse is considered a growing problem in our country. Previous studies revealed destructive effects of amphetamines on metabolism, perfusion and structure of brain. The aim of current study was evaluating regional cerebral blood flow (rCBF) disturbances in methamphetamine (MA) abuser...
