Pharmaceutically Assisted Angioplasty to Relieve Cerebral Vasospasm after Aneurysmal Subarachnoid Hemorrhage—A Retrospective, Single-Center, Observational Comparison of Established and New Treatment Techniques
EVT effectiveness remains a key target in vasospasm rescue treatment but relies on the right treatment modality. TBA remains most effective in vessel dilation. Stent-Retriever-Angioplasty may present an alternative to just pharmacological treatment balancing accessibility and risk profile. Using a combination of vasodilators may enhance treatment efficacy but the combination of nimodipine and papaverine shows little effect in our study.
