Brief Summary

PRESSURE is a multicenter, prospective, randomized, open, blinded end-point assessed (PROBE) trial, that aims to evaluate the efficacy and safety of drug-induced hypertension using peripheral dilute n...

Detailed Description

Perforating artery strokes represent 25% of all ischemic strokes and is a well-known cause of progressive symptoms : 12 to 36% of cases experience early neurological deterioration in hours or days aft...
