Abstract:
Objective To investigate the effects of collateral pathways on prognosis of cerebral infarct patients with prior transient ischemic attack (TIA) and its role in neuroprotective mechanism of TIA. Methods A total of 164 cases of the first ever cerebral infarct patients were consecutively allocated into three groups: A , B and C group according to their age.Three groups were divided into two subgroups respectively based on the absence or presence of prior ipsilateral TIA: A1, A2, B1, B2, C1, C2 group. Neurological dysfunctional scores at admission and 1 month after treatment, barthel index, collateral pathways status, and cerebral infarction volume were evaluated respectively. The relationship between development of collateral pathways and prognosis was assessed at the same time. Results The neurological dysfunctional scores and cerebral infarction volume of patients in A1 group and B1 group were significantly lower than those of A2 group and B2 group (P
