Improvement of Impaired Cerebral Microcirculation Using Rheological Modulation by Drag-Reducing Polymers

Abstract: Nanomolar intravascular concentrations of drag-reducing polymers (DRP) have been shown to improve hemodynamics and survival in animal models of ischemic myocardium and limb, but the effects of DRP on the cerebral microcirculation have not yet been studied. We recently demonstrated that DRP enhance microvascular flow in normal rat brain and hypothesized that it would restore impaired microvascular perfusion and improve outcomes after focal ischemia and traumatic brain injury (TBI). We studied the effects of DRP… Show more

“…Injury-induced decreases in CBF and microvascular circulation can result in microthrombus formation (Schwarzmaier et al, 2016) and tissue hypoxia (Bragin et al, 2016). Compared with sham animals, animals exposed to CCI had a greater incidence of stationary leukocyte-platelet aggregates in parenchymal capillaries (Schwarzmaier et al, 2016).…”
