Neuroinflammatory Response in Patients With ICH and IVH Treated With rtPA

March 24, 2019 updated by: Matija Sošić, University of Rijeka
This study compares the neuroinflammatory response in patients with hypertensive ICH associated with IVH treated with intraventriculary applied rtPA, and the control group. The inflammatory mediator concentration is analyzed in local cerebrospinal liquor.
