Human pial vascular reactions to intravenous Nimodipine-infusion during EC-IC bypass surgery.
نویسندگان
چکیده
In previous experimental work, the Ca-antagonist Nimodipine had shown a predominantly cerebroarterial dilatory effect. In the present double-blind study of 16 patients, pial arterial and venous reaction was investigated during EC-IC bypass surgery, infusing 1 microgram kg-1min-1 of Nimodipine intravenously. In pial arteries with resting diameters between 25 and 70 micrometers, a significant 18% dilatation was observed. Results are considered promising for future trials in the treatment and prevention of cerebral ischemia caused by vasoconstriction or vasospasm, especially vasospasm following subarachnoid hemorrhage.

Change in brain perfusion after extracranial-intracranial bypass surgery detected using the mean transit time of computed tomography perfusion.
BACKGROUND Cerebral perfusion can be evaluated using a computed tomography (CT) scan by intravenous bolus injection of contrast media. The purpose of this study was to investigate the value of CT perfusion (CTP) in follow-up of extracranial-intracranial (EC-IC) bypass surgery. METHODS We retrospectively reviewed pre- and postoperative CTP studies in 14 patients who received EC-IC bypass surge...
متن کاملUncooled Infrared Camera for the Noninvasive Visualization of the Vascular Flow in an Anastomotic Vessel during Neurological Surgery: Technical Note
We herein present our experience to assess intraoperative confirmation of vascular patency with an uncooled infrared camera in extracranial-intracranial (EC-IC) bypass surgery. This camera had distinguishing characteristics, including its small size, light weight, and adequate temperature resolution (< 0.022 degrees). We used a simplified zoom germanium lens as a preliminary study to verify the...
متن کاملEffect of topical nimodipine versus its ethanol-containing vehicle on cat pial arteries.
Nimodipine and its solvent containing ethanol were tested in a randomized in vivo study by local administration to the outer vessel wall surface of pial arteries and veins in 15 anesthetized cats. Reactions were studied through a cranial window. Diameter variations of 90 arterial and 78 venous vessel segments were continuously analyzed using a multichannel videoangiometer. The solvent alone cau...
متن کاملBypass surgery for complex brain aneurysms: an assessment of intracranial-intracranial bypass.
OBJECTIVE Bypass surgery for brain aneurysms is evolving from extracranial-intracranial (EC-IC) to intracranial-intracranial (IC-IC) bypasses that reanastomose parent arteries, revascularize efferent branches with in situ donor arteries or reimplantation, and reconstruct bifurcated anatomy with grafts that are entirely intracranial. We compared results with these newer IC-IC bypasses to convent...
متن کامل[Digital subtraction angiography for hemodynamic evaluation of cerebrovascular reconstructive surgery].
From May, 1982 to May, 1983, 300 consecutive patients were examined by intravenous digital subtraction angiography (DSA) using the Philips DVI system, which had a 512 X 512 matrix for video-imaging. Of those patients, 160 were diagnosed as having ischemic cerebrovascular disease. Attention was focused on 17 cases who were treated by a extracranial-intracranial (EC-IC) bypass and 5 cases treated...
