The no-reflow phenomenon is observed as reduction of coronary blood flow on the angiograms (angiographic no-reflow) after immediate percutaneous transluminal coronary angioplasty (PTCA) in patients with acute myocardial infarction (AMI). To assess whether a potent coronary microvascular
In order to evaluate coronary flow response to 2 different vasodilators, nicorandil and papaverine, in patients with myocardial infarction, we measured coronary flow reserve using a Doppler guide wire in infarct-related and non infarct-related arteries. The study group consisted of 28 patients with
OBJECTIVE
This study was undertaken to determine whether myocardial contrast echocardiography can be used to estimate the transmural distribution of flow.
BACKGROUND
Myocardial contrast echocardiography has been shown to reliably measure average transmural blood flow during myocardial ischemia.
Thirty-one cases of cerebral vasospasm following subarachnoid hemorrhage were treated with intraarterial papaverine infusion. Symptomatic cases were nineteen, and asymptomatic cases were twelve. Papaverine (120 mg/saline 50 ml, 30 min) was injected superselectively to vasospastic vessels through a
BACKGROUND
The use of stent retrievers for mechanical thrombectomy in acute ischemic stroke may induce significant vasospasm, which at the early phases of reperfusion may be crucial for rethrombosis of the recanalized vessel. We aimed to study whether the use of intra-arterial papaverine in selected
Complications associated with intraarterial papaverine infusion occurred in two patients treated for vasospasm due to subarachnoid hemorrhage (SAH). A 42-year-old male with an anterior communicating artery aneurysm underwent craniotomy and aneurysm clipping. Five days after the SAH occurred,
Reports of intraarterial papaverine infusion as treatment for cerebral vasospasm are few and documented complications are uncommon. The authors report the case of a patient with paradoxical aggravation of cerebral arterial narrowing during selective intraarterial papaverine infusion intended to
BACKGROUND
Selective intraarterial infusion of papaverine is used in the treatment of symptomatic cerebral vasospasm induced by aneurysmal subarachnoid hemorrhage (SAH). Delays in instituting therapy for vasospasm can lead to irreversible cerebral infarction and a devastating outcome. Endovascular
BACKGROUND
Intra-arterial papaverine (IAP) has been described as a treatment for cerebral vasospasm refractory to standard therapy.
METHODS
We report a series of 15 consecutive patients with aneurysmal subarachnoid hemorrhage in which IAP was employed for the treatment of symptomatic vasospasm. All
A preliminary analysis of the effect of long-term therapy with oral papaverine has been made in 11 patients with chronic cerebral ischemia due to cerebral arteriosclerosis. The cases were classified as remote cerebral infarction (6 patients) or vertebrobasilar arterial insufficiency (5 patients).
