Cerebral blood flow after carotid occlusion and extracranial-intracranial bypass.
نویسندگان
چکیده
Eleven patients with occlusion of one internal carotid artery showed marked reduction of regional cerebral blood flow (rCBF) through the hemisphere on the affected side with high rCBF on the opposite side. Six of the patients had no surgery, during follow-up of 2 to 5 years. rCBF increased on both sides leaving a persisting asymmetry of rCBF. Five patients had extracranial-intracranial bypass; rCBF increased on the affected side but not on the opposite side. Asymmetry of rCBF between the hemispheres remained but was much less than in the non-operated group.

Cortical blood flow during extracranial-intracranial bypass surgery.
Cortical blood flow was evaluated at the time of surgery with a thermal diffusion flow probe in 25 extracranial-intracranial bypass operations. The procedures were performed 14 times for carotid occlusion, 6 times for inaccessible carotid stenosis, on 3 occasions for middle cerebral occlusion, once for basilar occlusion and once for middle cerebral stenosis. Fifty-seven different cortical regio...

BACKGROUND AND PURPOSE The aim of this trial was to evaluate the effectiveness of extracranial-intracranial bypass with respect to vasomotor reactivity in patients with internal carotid artery occlusions and absent vasomotor reactivity, comparing them with a control group treated conservatively. METHODS To test vasomotor reactivity in 104 patients with unilateral occlusion of the internal car...

Regional cerebral blood flow, oxygen utilisation, fractional oxygen extraction, and cerebral blood volume were measured by positron emission tomography in twelve patients with carotid artery occlusion. Follow-up studies were carried out at a mean interval of eleven weeks after extracranial-intracranial bypass surgery. Clinical improvement was observed in three patients who had presented with fr...

A 42-year-old male presented with a giant thrombosed aneurysm of the left vertebral artery. The aneurysm was resected through a combined subtemporal and suboccipital approach after a saphenous vein bypass graft was placed between the right external carotid artery and the posterior cerebral artery. Intraoperative measurements of the blood flow volume and pressure demonstrated good blood flow in ...
