Neurocirculatory analysis of potential EIAB patients.

Twelve patients with gross vascular occlusions and with infarcts demonstrated in CT were examined with regard to their hemodynamic situation. Angiography and rCBF with intra-arterial and inhalation techniques were performed. Response to increased arterial hypertension and to CO2 inhalation was tested. It is concluded that one technique alone does not provide enough information for the selection of patients suitable for EIAB operation.
