Abstract:
The research of hemorrhagic transformation (HT) after cerebral infarction is now focus on HT after thrombolytic therapy. However, attention should also be aroused to the occurrence of spontaneous HT in most patients who cannot receive thrombolysis promptly because of various reasons, for it has important influence on the treatment of cerebral infarction and prognosis. This article reviews the concept, typing, pathogenesis, correlation factors, imaging diagnosis and prediction of HT, as well as the effects of non-thrombolytic therapies on HT, such as antiplatelet, defibrase, anticoagulant, anti-free radical, and the relations between HT typing and prognosis.
