TLDR
Imaging of the brain and vessels has shown that collateral flow can sustain brain tissue for hours after the occlusion of major arteries to the brain, and the augmentation or maintenance of collateral flow is therefore a potential therapeutic target.Abstract:
Summary Ischaemic stroke results from acute arterial occlusion leading to focal hypoperfusion. Thrombolysis is the only proven treatment. Advanced neuroimaging techniques allow a detailed assessment of the cerebral circulation in patients with acute stroke, and provide information about the status of collateral vessels and collateral blood flow, which could attenuate the effects of arterial occlusion. Imaging of the brain and vessels has shown that collateral flow can sustain brain tissue for hours after the occlusion of major arteries to the brain, and the augmentation or maintenance of collateral flow is therefore a potential therapeutic target. Several interventions that might augment collateral blood flow are being investigated.read more

TL;DR: A favorable penumbral pattern on neuroimaging did not identify patients who would differentially benefit from endovascular therapy for acute ischemic stroke, nor was embolectomy shown to be superior to standard care.

Pathogenic mechanisms following ischemic stroke
TL;DR: The underlying pathophysiology of ischemic stroke is reviewed and the intertwined pathways that are promising therapeutic targets are revealed, leading to the development of numerous agents that target various injury pathways.

TL;DR: Though remarkable advances in understanding of HT have been made, additional efforts are needed to translate these discoveries to the clinic and reduce the impact of HT on patients with ischemic stroke.

TL;DR: In this paper, the early phase of cerebral blood volume (CBV) increase is likely due to the improvement in collateral flow, also known as arteriogenesis, whereas the late phase of CBV increase is attributed to the surge of angiogenesis.

Blood Flow Distribution in Cerebral Arteries
TL;DR: A new method is described to outline the flow profile of the cerebral vascular tree, including reference values, and should be used for grading the collateral flow system.

Stimulation of an intracranial trigeminally-innervated structure selectively increases cerebral blood flow.
TL;DR: The more focused effects of superior sagittal sinus suggest a highly organised somatotopic arrangement of the trigeminal innervation of the cranial circulation, which may be important in understanding the pathophysiology of migraine, cluster headache and subarachnoid haemorrhage.

Neuronal Nitric Oxide Synthase Activation by Vasoactive Intestinal Peptide in Bovine Cerebral Arteries
TL;DR: It is concluded that nitric oxide produced by perivascular neurons and nerve fibers fully accounts for the experimental neurogenic relaxation of bovine cerebral arteries and that VIP, which also is present in the same periv vascular fibers, acts as a neuromodulator by activating neuronal Nitric oxide synthase.

TL;DR: The ADC of water provides a reliable pathophysiological index for tailoring therapy to the condition of individual stroke patients in clinical practice and is correlated with decrease in the CMRO2 and CMRglc.

Widespread reductions in cerebral blood flow and metabolism elicited by electrical stimulation of the parabrachial nucleus in rat.
TL;DR: It is concluded that excitation of neural pathways originating in, or passing through, PBNm elicits a widespread reduction in cerebral metabolism and secondarily in blood flow (secondary vasoconstriction) in anesthetized, paralyzed rats.
