The relationship between pial arteriolar caliber and cerebral blood flow (CBF) was examined in 11 cats subjected to reperfusion for up to 120 min after 10 min of global cerebral ischemia induced by four-vessel occlusion and systemic hypotension. Thirty minutes after reperfusion CBF, as assessed by radiolabeled microsphere injection, had increased to 588% of control in middle cerebral artery (MSEC) cortical gray matter territory. The caliber of MSEC pial arterioles measured using the closed cranial window technique (greater than 33 to less than 213 microns) increased to 172% of baseline. By 60 min of reperfusion, CBF was 76% of basal levels, but pial arterioles remained 133% of baseline. After 120 min, CBF approximated baseline values, but pial dilatation persisted (115% of control). Intracranial pressure measurements did not differ significantly from resting values. At 45 min and beyond, total cerebrovascular resistance did not differ from resting values. The coexistence of vasodilatation within pial arterioles and normal blood flow in cortical gray matter indicates that pial vessels (greater than 33 microns) cannot be responsible for normal blood flow restoration following postocclusive hyperemia. Resistance during the posthyperemic phase must be increased selectively within parenchymal vessels to account for normal total cerebrovascular resistance, pial vessel dilatation, and normal-low parenchymal blood flow. Whether obstruction rather than vasoconstriction explains the resistance changes within intraparenchymal vessels remains for further study.
