Hemorrhagic infarcts.

چکیده
A review of hemorrhagic transformation after brain ischemia is presented. The pathological, clinical and radiological aspects are discussed with respect to recent studies. The different pathophysiological mechanisms (reperfusion, vascular rupture, size of infarction, timing of constitution) are reviewed. The role of the utilization of antithrombotic (anticoagulant and thrombolytic) agents in the production of hemorrhagic infarct is presented, and we propose a new classification of hemorrhagic infarct, based on the CT scan patterns.

Hemorrhagic infarct induced by arterial hypertension in cat brain following middle cerebral artery occlusion.
The purpose of this experiment was to determine whether an acute rise in brain perfusion pressure causes hemorrhagic transformation of an infarct without a reopening of the occluded artery. We raised the blood pressure of 22 cats by aortic obstruction 5-24 hours after transorbital middle cerebral artery clipping; hemorrhagic infarcts were induced in 11. Mean arterial blood pressure increased by...
متن کاملIntramyocardial hemorrhage contributes to microvascular obstruction in acute myocardial infarction
Background Patients with hemorrhagic infarcts appear to constitute a high-risk group in acute myocardial infarction (AMI). However, the clinical implications of hemorrhagic versus non-hemorrhagic infarcts are currently unclear, warranting a more systematic and mechanistic approach towards understanding the underlying consequences. The question of whether hemorrhage is simply a bystander or cont...
متن کاملMRI detection of subacute hemorrhagic transformation in the rat suture occlusion model
introduction Hemorrhagic transformation (HT) of ischemic infarcts is one of the main complications of thrombolytic therapy for acute stroke. HT also occurs frequently in untreated stroke patients, but it is typically less severe and often not associated with a worsening of clinical symptoms. Although HT is clearly an area of clinical concern, relatively few imaging studies have investigated HT ...
متن کاملBiomechanical properties of reperfused transmural myocardial infarcts in rabbits during the first week after infarction. Implications for left ventricular rupture.
Left ventricular (LV) rupture potential was studied after transmural myocardial infarction (MI) in rabbits by measuring 1) the tensile strength of infarcted tissue strips, 2) the force required to initiate a tear (tear threshold) in the central infarcted region, and 3) the intracavitary pressure required to rupture the infarcted ventricle. During the first week after MI, infarcts resulting from...
متن کاملThe pathogenesis of watershed infarcts in the brain.
WATERSHED INFARCTS are ischemic lesions which are situated along the border zones between the territories of two major arteries, for example the anterior and middle or the middle and posterior cerebral arteries (fig. 1). They may also be located between the territories of the major cerebellar arteries and they have even been described between the territories of the small arteries in the basal g...
متن کاملThe value of magnetic resonance imaging in the detection of type II hemorrhagic lacunes.
Lacunar infarcts (lacunes) are small necrotic/cystic lesions of the brain associated with hypertension. Many are clinically silent, but some are associated with localizing symptoms and signs. Lacunes recently were classified into three types, namely, those resulting from small infarcts (type I), those arising as small hemorrhages (type II), and those due to dilatation of perivascular spaces (ty...
