Aneurysmal subarachnoid hemorrhage (SAH) affects approximately 30,000 people each year in North America. At least 30% of these patients will develop vasospasm as a result of the initial hemorrhage, and two thirds of these develop permanent disabilities or die. Blood deposited into the basal cisterns
Cerebral vasospasm and the resulting cerebral ischemia occurring after subarachnoid hemorrhage (SAH) are still responsible for the considerable morbidity and mortality in patients affected by cerebral aneurysms. Mechanisms contributing to the development of vasospasm, abnormal reactivity of cerebral
Fresh blood and supernatants of blood-CSF mixtures incubated for 1 to 15 days were applied to the basilar artery of adult cats, and the degree of constriction was measured with a surgical microscope. The constriction due to fresh blood was weak and transient. It seems possible to assume that
A simple and inexpensive experimental model of subarachnoid hemorrhage (SAH) was developed in the rat. Based on accumulating data indicating the important role of arachidonic acid metabolites in the etiology of delayed cerebral vasospasm, we investigated changes induced by SAH on cerebrospinal fluid
Cerebral vasospasm is a common and serious complication of aneurysmal subarachnoid haemorrhage (SAH). At present, no consistently effective preventative and therapeutic measures are available, perhaps because of incomplete understanding of the pathogenesis of vasospasm. Experimental studies provide
The in vivo spasmogenic activity of various blood components was examined in dogs. Each blood fraction was injected into the cisterna magna at 0.5 or 1.0 ml/kg body weight, after the removal of 0.5 ml/kg body weight of cerebrospinal fluid, and vertebral angiography was then performed. Whole blood
Cerebral vasospasm is one of the most severe complications of subarachnoid haemorrhage (SAH), leading to pathological changes in the vessel wall itself and in the nervous tissue, due to ischaemia of endothelial cells and neurones. Amongst the known substances inducing vasospasm, the most potent
Subarachnoid hemorrhage (SAH) following aneurysm bleeding accounts for 6% to 8% of all cerebrovascular accidents. Although an aneurysm can be effectively managed by surgery or endovascular therapy, delayed cerebral ischemia is diagnosed in a high percentage of patients resulting in significant
BACKGROUND
After subarachnoid hemorrhage (SAH), the formation of subarachnoid clots and their associated resolution may be involved in the development of chronic cerebral vasospasm. To dissolve and wash out the subarachnoid clot is one of the therapeutic strategies for prevention of cerebral
BACKGROUND
Delayed cerebral vasospasm occurring after subarachnoid hemorrhage (SAH) is still responsible for a considerable percentage of the morbidity and mortality in patients with aneurysms. It has been suggested that the pathogenesis of delayed cerebral vasospasm is related to a number of
OBJECTIVE
Oxyhemoglobin (HbO2) causes vasospasm after subarachnoid hemorrhage (SAH). The most likely spasmogenic component of HbO2 is iron. Various iron chelators, such as deferoxamine, have prevented vasospasm in vivo with limited success. However, only chelators of iron in the ferric state have
BACKGROUND
Cisternal irrigation therapy with urokinase and ascorbic acid was introduced to prevent symptomatic vasospasm after aneurysmal subarachnoid hemorrhage (SAH). To dissolve and wash out the subarachnoid clot, cisternal irrigation with urokinase is used. Ascorbic acid is added to degenerate
Cerebral vasospasm following aneurysmal subarachnoid hemorrhage is one of the most important causes of cerebral ischemia, and is the leading cause of death and disability after aneurysm rupture. There are two definitions of cerebral vasospasm: angiographic and clinical. Care must be exercised to be
OBJECTIVE
After subarachnoid hemorrhage (SAH), platelet-derived growth factor-BB (PDGF-BB) is secreted in and around the cerebral arteries. To clarify the role of PDGF-BB in the development of vasospasm after SAH, we determined whether PDGF-BB alone can cause long-lasting vasoconstriction of a
We propose the theory that prolonged cerebral vasospasm involves three phases: (1) the initial muscular contraction of the arterial wall; (2) a secondary injury to the artery that consists of endothelial desquamation with adherence of platelets to te denuded internal elastic lamina and mural
