papaverine/stroke

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

The efficacy of the "oxygenator", vincamine was assessed in comparison to a classic vasodilator, papaverine, after parenteral administration during the first days of an acute thrombo-embolic stroke. All 263 patients admitted to this open trial had a thrombo-embolism of the A. carotis or one of its

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 Intracisternal papaverine (iPPV) is a vasodilator used for prophylaxis of intraoperative vasospasm during aneurysmal clipping. Postoperative side effects of iPPV include transient cranial nerve palsies, most commonly mydriasis owing to oculomotor nerve involvement, with rapid

Three commercial sustained-release papaverine hydrochloride products in the form of microencapsulated pellets were evaluated. Three different dissolution apparatuses were used: a continuous flow apparatus, the USP rotating basket apparatus, and a modified reciprocating basket apparatus. The

Ligusticum Chuanxiong and its effective components were studied in the treatment of ischemic stroke, a common emergent disease in China. Some injections of the medicines, including Ligusticum, Ligustrazine, Ligustylid and ferulic acid, were tested clinically and experimentally. The results showed

Intracoronary injection of papaverine is used to determine coronary flow reserve in patients. The present study was to investigate the effect of papaverine on the performance of myocardium with reduced flow reserve. In nine anaesthetized open-chest dogs a bypass from the aorta to the left circumflex

OBJECTIVE An array of neuroprotective strategies has evolved to limit spinal cord injury during descending thoracic aneurysm and thoracoabdominal aortic aneurysm repair. This study prospectively assessed the neuroprotective impact of intrathecal papaverine added to other techniques in aortic

Using the atraumatic diagnostic technique of forehead thermography to indirectly evaluate cerebral arterial circulation, nine patients with vascular disease in the extracranial or intracranial carotid arterial system were given 300 mg. papaverine hydrochloride. All patients demonstrated some degree

Cerebral vasospasm is an important cause of delayed stroke after subarachnoid hemorrhage. Single-photon emission computed tomography (SPECT) of regional cerebral blood flow with (99m)Tc-hexamethyl propylenenamine oxime (HMPAO) was performed before and after intra-arterial papaverine treatment in 10

OBJECTIVE After subarachnoid hemorrhage, delayed onset vasospasm can result in devastating ischemic stroke. The phenomenon of delayed cerebral ischemia (DCI) is not yet fully understood, and the correlation of angiographic vasospasm and cerebral infarction is still unclear. Therefore, we

Earlier studies established that stroke-prone spontaneously hypertensive rats (SHRSP) invariably infarct after middle cerebral artery (MCA) occlusion. Normotensive rats are usually protected from infarction after the occlusion. Objectives of this study were to characterize the anastomosing
