A possible explanation for 'collateral failure' and infarct expansion after ischemic stroke https://ogma.newcastle.edu.au/vital/access/ /manager/Repository/uon:16993 450% immediately after MCAo. Collateral diameter changed minimally. Second, we determined the effect of ICP elevation on collateral and watershed penetrating arteriole flow. Intracranial pressure was artificially raised in stepwise increments during MCAo. The ICP increase was strongly correlated with collateral and penetrating arteriole flow reductions. Changes in collateral flow post-stroke appear to be primarily driven by the pressure drop across the collateral vessel, not vessel diameter. The ICP elevation reduces cerebral perfusion pressure and collateral flow, and is the possible explanation for 'collateral failure' in stroke-in-progression.]]> Wed 11 Apr 2018 09:23:28 AEST ]]>
