Publisher's Synopsis
These conference proceedings discuss issues vital to the understanding of thrombolytic therapy. The book compiles the major presentations of the symposium, with attention to applications of new diagnostic measures, such as diffusion and perfusion MRI, contrast-enhanced transcranial Doppler and angioscopy. Other presentations examined the mechanisms of ischemia/reperfusion injury, haemorrhagic transformation, and reocclusion, with reviews of recent developments in thrombolytic agents.
