Effects of nimodipine on cerebral vasospasm in patients with aneurysmal subarachnoid hemorrhage treated by endovascular coiling.

Background: An aneurysmal subarachnoid hemorrhage could be complicated with cerebral vasospasm and resultant ischemia, causing neurological deficit.

Objectives: The aim of our study was to compare early and late outcomes in patients with subarachnoidal hemorrhage (SAH) treated by endovascular coiling, who either received or did not receive prophylaxis of cerebral vasospasm with nimodipine.

Material And Methods: In this retrospective cross-sectional study, the data was collected from the histories of 68 patients (38 females and 30 males, age range 29-71 years) with spontaneous aneurysmal SAH in clinical stage HH I-IV, treated at Kragujevac Clinical Center, Serbia, from January 2008 till June 2009.
