DIAGNOSTIC MARKER FOR TREATMENT OF CEREBRAL ISCHEMIA

摘要

Identification of candidates for treatment and treatment of subjects experiencing cerebral ischemia wherein the treatment employs a thrombolytic or thrombectomy agent and an inhibitor of vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF) receptor-mediated signal transduction are determined by testing the blood of a patient for total S-100B or for S-100BB as a marker of blood brain barrier integrity.
