Figure 2 MFV in bilateral BVR of the patients with acute paraventricular ischemic stroke at baseline and after argatroban therapy. (A) Comparison of MFV in ipsilateral versus contralateral BVR between control and argatroban-treated patients. (B) Impact of argatroban on venous flow in the BVR of patients’ ipsilateral hemisphere. (C) Impact of argatroban on venous flow in BVR of patients’ contralateral hemisphere. (D) Representative TCD illustrates the MFV in BVRs of ipsilateral hemispheres in patients at the baseline and at day 7 and day 90 after argatroban treatment. # P<0.05 versus contralateral hemisphere at baseline, * P<0.05, ** P<0.05 compared to baseline of argatroban group, *** P<0.05 compared to control at the same time point. BVR – basal vein Rosenthal; MFV – mean flow velocity; TCD – transcranial Doppler ultrasonography.
