Intra-Arterial Nimodipine for Severe Cerebral Vasospasm after Aneurysmal Subarachnoid Hemorrhage: Influence on Clinical Course and Cerebral Perfusion

摘要

BACKGROUND AND PURPOSE: The efficacy of intra-arterial administration of nimodipine (IAN) in patients with severe vasospasm after aneurysmal subarachnoid hemorrhage (SAH) remains unproved. The goal of the present study was to investigate the clinical effect and cerebral perfusion after IAN in patients with severe vasospasm refractory to hemodynamic treatment.
