“…The larger the area of cerebral infarction is, the more active coagulation function and fibrinolytic system are and the higher the levels of D-dimer and NT-pro BNP is. 19 , 20 This study found that the levels of D-dimer and NT-pro BNP of the patients with massive cerebral infarction were obviously higher than those of the patients in the control group, indicating that patients with severer cerebral infarction had higher levels of D-dimer and NT-pro BNP. It was also found that the levels of D-dimer and NT-pro BNP of the death patients were much higher than those who survived after half-year follow up.…”

Objective:To investigate the effects of levels of D-dimer and N-terminal pro-brain natriuretic peptide (NT-pro BNP) on the prognosis of patients with acute cerebral infarction.Methods:One hundred and twenty-four patients with acute cerebral infarction who were admitted to the hospital between July 2014 and July 2016 were selected as the observation group; 100 normal people who had health examination in the center of physical examination of our hospital were selected as the control group. The levels of D-dimer and NT-pro BNP of the two groups were observed; the correlation between the levels of plasma NT-pro BNP and D-dimer and area of cerebral infarction, complications and death condition of the observation group was investigated.Results:The levels of D-dimer and NT-pro BNP of the observation group were much higher than those of the control group, and the difference was statistically significant (P<0.05). The levels of D-dimer and NT-pro BNP of the observation group were significantly higher than those of the control group, and the difference had statistical significance (P<0.05). The levels of plasma NT-pro BNP and D-dimer of the patients with disturbance of consciousness and high blood pressure were apparently higher than those with no disturbance of consciousness and normal blood pressure, and there was a statistically significant difference (P<0.05). The patients were followed up for half a year. The levels of D-dimer and NT-pro BNP of the dead patients were much higher than those of the survived patients on admission.Conclusion:The levels of plasma NT-pro BNP and D-dimer can reflect the disease condition and prognosis of patients with acute cerebral infarction. Higher levels of NT-pro BNP and D-dimer indicates poorer prognosis. This work can provide a guidance for the clinical treatment of acute cerebral infarction.

“…However, efficacy of urgent STA-MCA bypass has been reporte [ 6 – 8 ]. We have performed urgent STA-MCA bypass in patients with progressing stroke owing to occlusion of internal carotid artery or MCA based on our own experiences [ 9 ]. In this case, we selected urgent STA-MCA bypass because the patient presented progressing stroke in spite of aggressive medication.…”

Background: In superficial temporal artery-to-middle cerebral artery (STA-MCA) bypass surgery, indocyanine green video angiography (ICG-VA) is usually used to verify bypass patency. Less-commonly reported is the ability to use this technique to evaluate candidate recipient vessels based on either collateral flow or identification of the distal branch of interest. Case presentation: An 82-year-old man presented with progressive cerebral infarction due to infarction of the M2 inferior trunk of the right middle cerebral artery. He underwent superficial temporal artery-middle cerebral artery bypass to prevent further ischemia 1 week after the initial stroke. In the surgery, M4 cortical arteries fed by the inferior trunk could not be identified as recipient arteries. Intraoperative ICG-VA showed delayed luminescence of some M4 arteries. Because the M4 arteries fed by the inferior trunk showed delayed retrograde flows from the anterior cerebral artery on preoperative digital subtraction angiography, the M4 arteries with delayed luminescence on ICG-VA were considered to be M4 arteries fed by the inferior trunk and selected as the recipient arteries. Conclusions: ICG-VA shows differences in flow speed as delayed luminescence. This finding may be useful for detecting target vessels.

“…Neurologic examination isn't only important for neurologist but also for all specialists including anesthesiologist. [13][14][15][16] We suggest that our patient died to ARDS and MCA infarction itself which resulted from hypotension and ischemia. In conclusion, we aimed to emphasize importance of early, detailed neurologic examination for early recognition of MCA infarction.…”

Posttraumatic cerebral infarction due to progressive occlusion of the internal carotid artery after minor head injury in childhood: a case report

Abstract: Minor head injury can cause cerebral infarction in childhood, although this is rare. If conservative therapy cannot prevent progressive cerebral infarction, STA-MCA bypass should be considered in case of the ICA occlusion.
