TRANSITION TO COLLATERAL FLOW AFTER ARTERIAL OCCLUSION PREDISPOSES TO CEREBRAL VENOUS STEAL

摘要

IntroductionStroke related tissue pressure increase in the core (Pcore) and penumbra (Ppen) determines regional cerebral perfusion pressure (rCPP) defined as a difference between local inflow pressure (Pi) and venous (Pv) or tissue pressure, whichever is higher. We previously showed that venous pressure reduction below the Pcore causes blood flow diversion - cerebral venous steal. Now we investigated how transition to collateral circulation after complete arterial occlusion affects rCPP distribution.
