Figure 4.
Increase in the BBB leakage and hemorrhagic transformation. Large hyperintense areas on Gd-DTPA–enhanced MRI were observed 30 minutes after injection of Gd-DTPA in a rat treated with rhVEGF165 (b), compared with the precontrast image (a). A coronal section corresponding to the MRI section obtained at 24 hours after a stroke shows extensive Evans blue leakage and hemorrhage (c and d). Bar, 1 mm in d.
