What Researchers Did
Researchers discussed surgical treatments for ischemic cerebral infarction, including patient selection and the role of preoperative hyperbaric oxygenation testing, based on their experience with 128 surgical cases.
What They Found
The study indicated that ischemic cerebral infarction requires surgical treatment when caused by narrowing or blockage of the internal carotid or middle cerebral artery. Based on 128 surgically treated cases, the authors suggested that preoperative testing with hyperbaric oxygenation could be important for successful surgical outcomes.
