Background and Purpose—Vasospasm is an important complication of subarachnoid hemorrhage, but is variably defined in the literature. Methods—We studied 580 patients with subarachnoid hemorrhage and identified those with: (1) symptomatic vasospasm, defined as clinical deterioration deemed secondary to vasospasm after other causes were eliminated; (2) delayed cerebral ischemia (DCI), defined as s...

BACKGROUND AND PURPOSE Numerous studies have shown that cerebral vasospasm is one of the leading causes of death and neurological disability after subarachnoid hemorrhage. Most of these studies, however, have focused on anterior circulation vessels. Since the introduction of the transcranial Doppler (TCD), increasing attention has been given to basilar artery (BA) vasospasm, especially in traum...

OBJECT The purpose of this prospective study was to evaluate the cumulative incidence, duration, and time course of cerebral vasospasm after traumatic brain injury (TBI) in a cohort of 299 patients. METHODS Transcranial Doppler (TCD) ultrasonography studies of blood flow velocity in the middle cerebral and basilar arteries (VMCA and VBA, respectively) were performed at regular intervals durin...

CHRISTOPHER W. NORWOOD, G. JOSEPH POOLE, DIXON MOODY, and EBEN ALEXANDER, Jr (Winston-Salem) noted that a successful treatment for delayed cerebral vasospasm after subarachnoid haemorrhage had been reported. In their Rhesus monkey population subjected to subarachnoid haemorrhage 62.5% developed delayed cerebral vasospasm. Seven were treated with a beta-adrenergic drug alone, and five of the sev...

The study evaluated the diagnostic accuracy of intravenous flat-detector computed tomography (IV FDCT) angiography in assessing hemodynamically significant cerebral vasospasm in patients with subarachnoid hemorrhage (SAH) with digital subtraction angiography (DSA) as the reference. DSA and IV FDCT were conducted concurrently in patients suspected of having symptomatic cerebral vasospasm postope...

The prevalence of coronary vasospasm and also the factors associated with coronary vasospasm in CKD is still unclear. In this cross-sectional study of 859 consecutive CKD patients with angina pectoris received coronary catheterization, we evaluated the factors associated with coronary vasospasm. Patients with vasospasm were older and had higher peripheral blood white cell counts, higher periphe...

The Effect of Isordil and Cyclospasmol on Vascular Spasm Induced in the Basilar Artery of the Cat • Vasospasm of the basilar artery of the cat was induced by subarachnoid bleeding and was observed by a transoral approach to the vessel. Intravenous Isordil (2 to 4 mg/kg) given following vasospasm produced vasodilatation with minimal arterial hypotension. Cyclospasmol, administered intravenously ...

To our knowledge, the use of transdermal nitroglycerin ointment (Nitropaste) in the setting of intracranial vasospasm has not been described in the peer-reviewed literature. Five patients with intracranial vasospasm induced by subarachnoid hemorrhage were evaluated angiographically both before and after application of Nitropaste. All cases exhibited mild to moderate improvement in the degree of...
