Management of Clinical Vasospasm After Aneurysmal Subarachnoid Hemorrhage with Intra-Arterial Nimodipine Injection
Abstract
Currently, there are no established treatment guidelines for clinical vasospasm following subarachnoid hemorrhage (CV). Intra-arterial nimodipine injection (IAN) is gaining popularity as a treatment option. As a result, the author has gathered data on the outcomes of this method and proposes a suitable management protocol.
