Abstract:
This mini-review describes steps towards gene therapy to prevent vasospasm after subarachnoid hemorrhage, and summarizes some remaining obstacles. With recombinant adenoviruses, it is now possible to prevent vasospasm in experimental animals. If an adenoviral or other effective vector is demonstrated to be safe, it is likely that gene therapy will be used in patients to prevent vasospasm.
