ASAH patients, ranging in age 18 - 80 years, on whom aneurysm obliteration was performed, either by surgical clipping or endovascular therapy
After aneurysm obliteration, digital subtraction diagnostic angiography was performed on all patients. If angiographic vasospasm was demonstrated, we enrolled the patients, whether or not they suffered any clinical vasospasm, such as alteration of consciousness, new motor deficits, or unexplained fever. Consent was informed and obtained from the patients or their relatives, as appropriate
Every angiography was done within 14 days, according to the date of rupture, otherwise the case was excluded. After we found any angiographic vasospasm (defined as any acute tapering or focal vasoconstriction of any vessels compared to prior diagnostic imaging), we categorized patients into good neurological baseline group, defined as World Federation of Neurological Surgeons’ score (WFNS) grade I-III, and poor neurological baseline group defined as WFNS grade IV-V first, and then performing block randomization into 1:1 of the intervention and control groups
No angiographic vasospasm
Angiography done after 14 days
Denied consent
