Clinical Burden of Angiographic Vasospasm and Its Complications After Aneurysmal Subarachnoid Hemorrhage: A Systematic Review.

ABSTRACT:

Introduction

Angiographic vasospasm (VSP), the narrowing of intracranial arteries, is a complication of aneurysmal subarachnoid hemorrhage (aSAH) and often results in delayed cerebral ischemia (DCI) and cerebral infarction. The objective of this systematic review was to summarize the clinical burden of angiographic VSP and its related complications (DCI and cerebral infarction) after aSAH.

Methods

Systematic searches of MEDLINE, Embase, and the Cochrane Library were conducted (in January 2021) in accordance with the Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews and Meta-Analyses (PRISMA) guidelines to identify studies reporting clinical outcomes of angiographic VSP and its related complications after aSAH.
