Abstract:
We present a multicentric randomized double-blind study of the curative effect of intravenous Nimodipine on the post hemorrhagic vasospasm after aneurysmal rupture. On 122 validated cases out of 188 analyzed patients, the study demonstrates a significative effect on the mortality and severe morbidity related to vasospasm: the reduction of the risk is appreciated to 72%. The major effect is obtained on the mortality risk. A selective effect can be demonstrate on the isolated vasospasm.
