NCT01400360

Brief Summary

Cerebral vasospasm(CVS) after subarachnoid hemorrhage (SAH) results in a considerable amount of transient or even permanent neurological deficits and poor outcome of the patients. Transluminal Balloon angioplasty (TBA) or intraarterial application of vasodilators represents a rescue therapy for severe CVS. Indication, duration and efficacy of this treatment, however, is still under debate. Aim of the study is to investigate if such a rescue treatment can significantly reduce new delayed ischemic cerebral deficits after SAH. Hypothesis is that the occurance of delayed infarcts can be reduced by repetetive intraarterial therapy to more than 50 %.

Outcome Measures

Primary Outcomes (1)

  • New infarcts between baseline and final MRI

    21 + - 7 days

Secondary Outcomes (1)

  • Clinical outcome (mRS, Karnofsky)

    6 months

Study Arms (2)

invasive

ACTIVE COMPARATOR

After proof of perfusion relevant CVS in interventional therapy should be performed as best possible combination from TBA and intraarterial vasodilators additional to the conventional treatment.

Other: Combination of TBA and intraarterial application of vasodilators

conventional

NO INTERVENTION

After proof of perfusion relevant CVS only conventional treatment should be performed (no intraarterial therapy).

Other: Combination of TBA and intraarterial application of vasodilators

Interventions

In the invasive arm CVS should be treated by intraarterial therapy and efficacy controlled by CT or MRI after 48 hours and if necessary repeated.
