The Clinical Pattern in Certain Types of Occlusive Cerebrovascular Disease

The clinical pattern in certain types of occlusive cerebrovascular disease.

Evaluation of Occlusive Cerebrovascular Disease

Eighty-four patients with cerebroTucnlar disease were studied by cerebral angiograpby and a prototype Doppler device, ultrasonic quantitative flow measurement (UQFM), that provides data from which absolute common carotid flow can be determined. The UQFM showed significantly lower flows in 23 patients who had complete occlusion of the internal carotid artery on the affected side (p < 0.001). In ...

Enhanced erythrocyte aggregability in occlusive cerebrovascular disease.

We measured the rate of erythrocyte aggregation using our whole-blood aggregometer in 80 patients with occlusive cerebrovascular disease during the acute and chronic phases. We compared the data with values for 38 age-matched healthy controls. Mean +/- SD erythrocyte aggregability of the patients during both the acute phase (0.145 +/- 0.21/sec, n = 35) and the chronic phase (0.139 +/- 0.21/sec,...

Reassessment of Anticoagulant Therapy in Various Types of Occlusive Cerebrovascular Disease

Reassessment of Anticoagulant Therapy in Various Types of Occlusive Cerebrovascular Disease • Precise use of categorical terms and definitions is mandatory in discussing the use of anticoagulants in treating occlusive cerebrovascular disease. The components of the temporal profile of the disease are described. Six reports have appeared which describe the results of anticagulant therapy in trans...

Intracranial neurosurgical treatment of occlusive cerebrovascular disease.

Anastomosis of the extracranial superficial temporal artery to the intracranial middle cerebral artery offers an additional source of blood to the cerebral circulation in patients with transient ischemic episodes. Fourteen cases are reported. Two representative cases with three anastomoses demonstrate the use of this technique in occlusion of the internal carotid artery, occlusion of the middle...
