Effect of therapy on cerebral blood flow following aneurysm surgery.
نویسندگان
چکیده
The authors report on a patient with a ruptured anterior communicating aneurysm treated surgically on the day following her subarachnoid hemorrhage (SAH). Repeated measurements of cerebral blood flow (rCBF) were carried out using the inhalational Xenon 133 method. Dramatic acute increases in rCBF occurred, coincident with clinical improvement, following mannitol, CSF drainage and dopamine. Later, further elevation to normal levels occurred following ventriculoperitoneal shunting.

A patient-specific study of blood flow in a cerebral aneurysm using medical images
Background: Cerebral aneurysm disease causes intracranial hemorrhage by rupturing, which can eventually, lead to organ failure or death. For this reason, it is important to anticipate the reasons for rupturing of a cerebral aneurysm from biomechanical point of view. Investigating this disease may even help the physicians to find treatments and predict the patient’s situation. This research was ...
متن کاملClip readjustment in aneurysm surgery after flow evaluation using the ultrasonic perivascular probe: case report.
Occlusion or stenosis of a parent vessel or its distal branches is a major cause of poor patient outcome after cerebral aneurysm surgery. Despite great attempts to preserve patency at the time of clip application, intraoperative visual observation may not reveal arterial compromise or occlusion. Quantitative measurement of blood flow in cerebral vessels during aneurysm surgery can help prevent ...

BACKGROUND This case study reports on a combined therapy of stenting and surgery for a giant unruptured middle cerebral artery (MCA) aneurysm with the aim of preserving the patency of the vessel during surgery. CASE DESCRIPTION A 51-year-old male presented with a sudden onset of moderate left hemiparesis and dysarthria. Neuro-radiological evaluations showed a giant right unruptured MCA aneury...
متن کاملThe dopamine withdrawal test following surgery for intracranial aneurysms.
Cerebral blood flow was measured in eight patients who were being treated with dopamine in order to maintain cerebral perfusion after the onset of delayed postoperative ischaemia following intracranial aneurysm surgery. Measurements were made whilst on treatment and repeated either during a reduction in the dosage or withdrawal of dopamine. There was a significant fall in cerebral blood flow in...
متن کاملThe Effect of Allograft Transplantation of Sertoli Cell on Expression of NF-кB, Bax Proteins, and Ischemic Tolerance in Rats with Focal Cerebral Ischemia
One of the newest methods to reduce cerebral ischemia damages is cell therapy. The aim of this study is to evaluate the effect of Sertoli cell transplantation on ischemia-induced injuries in animal models of stroke. Rats were divided into four groups: transplant+ischemia, ischemia, sham, and control. Sertoli cells were separated from the other testis of rats and cultured. Unilateral Sertoli cel...
