Does perihematomal Diffusion Restriction in Intracerebral Hemorrhage Depends on Hematoma Volume , But Predict Outcome?
PDR is common after primary ICH within 24 h of symptom onset. Hematoma volume was identified as the key predictor of PDR. Although PDR was associated with mortality and severe disability, this effect was confounded by established risk factors. These results do not support a role of early PDR as prognostic factor after ICH independent of hematoma volume.
The unavailability of ECC does not seem to be a compromising factor in the management of thoracic aorta disease, however a good experience in endovascular techniques is required.
