title: [Advances of study on the relationship between vascular endothelial growth factor and ischemic cerebral vascular disease].
abstract: Vascular endothelial growth factor is a potent inducer of angiogenesis identified in recent years, and its relationship with ischemic cerebral vascular diseases is a hotspot for many investigators at present. In this review, we focus on the recent evidence for VEGF expression, biological effect and its role in the treatment and prognostication of ischemic cerebral vascular disease.
