Effects of Prostacyclin on Cerebral Blood Flow and Vasospasm After Subarachnoid Hemorrhage: Randomized, Pilot Trial.

Summary, in English

Delayed ischemic neurological deficits (DINDs) are a major contributing factor for poor outcome in patients with subarachnoid hemorrhage. In this trial, we investigated the therapeutic potential of prostacyclin, an endogen substance with known effect on vascular tone and blood flow regulation, on factors related to DIND.
