Cerebrovascular Diseases

Main lines of research

  • Brain neurorepair after stroke.
  • Role of statins in ischemic and haemorrhagic stroke.
  • Prevention of cerebral haemorrhage with anticoagulants.
  • Endothelial progenitor cells in stroke.
  • Aetiological classification of brain haemorrhage.
  • Pathophysiology of hematoma growth in acute cerebral haemorrhage.
  • Benefits and risks of intravenous thrombolysis.
  • Sonothrombolysis.
  • Non-invasive monitoring of cerebral flow with applied optic methods.
  • Participation in clinical trials.

Challenges

  • Enhance cooperation with other groups in the framework of Spanish stroke research.
  • Network (RETICS/INVICTUS) and also intrahospital cooperation (the Catalan Institute of Cardiovascular Sciences and the Haemostasis-Thrombosis group) and extra-hospital cooperation (with groups managed by Dr. García-Verdugo in Valencia, Dr. Arús at the Autonomous University of Barcelona, Dr. Anna Planas at Clinic Hospital, Dr. Turgut Durduran at ICFO). To obtain funding from FIS, regional authorities and private companies.
  • Increase the number of contracted and grant-aided researchers and professionally develop existing researchers.
