The Precapillary Segment of the Blood-Brain Barrier and Its Relation to Perivascular Drainage in Alzheimer's Disease and Small Vessel Disease. by Dietmar R. Thal

“…Thus, the pre-capillary segment of the BBB is altered and drainage of extracellular fluid from the brain tissue competes with the leaking plasma for perivascular drainage. Since the amyloid ß-protein (Aß) is subject of this perivascular drainage and accumulates in the brains of Alzheimer's disease (AD) patients, an alteration of this drainage system in the course of SVD may support the accumulation of Aß within the brain and, in so doing, the development of AD.…”
