Most challenging is the study of effectiveness of PGI2 in patients with acute cerebral ischaemia due to thrombotic occlusion of the internal carotid artery that shows up as hemiplegia [250], In this study the dosage of PGIj was reduced to 2.5 ng/kg/min i.v. and the time of infusion was shortened to 6 hours divided into 5-8 courses of treatment. The results of the clinical trial of 10 patients will be soon published. 

Is the acute reduction in CBF produced by indomethacin in humans, primates, rat, and gerbil a result of inhibition of prostaglandin synthesis in some compartment within the brain If endogenous arachidonic derivatives play more than a permissive role in control of cerebrovascular reactivity, then it should be possible to demonstrate that the changes in concentration of the relevant eicosanoid within the appropriate compartment within the brain should change with, for example, hypercapnia. The problem is how to estimate such eicosanoid levels in the appropriate compartment. Severe insults such as cerebral ischaemia of varying duration do result in the release...
