Assessment of Microthromboembolism After Subarachnoid Hemorrhage

Mervyn D. I. Vergouwen, Robert Loch Macdonald

Abstract

Delayed cerebral ischemia is a common complication after aneurysmal subarachnoid hemorrhage (SAH). Besides arterial narrowing (vasospasm), microthromboembolism has been suggested as an additional explanation for the occurrence of delayed cerebral ischemia. This chapter discusses the rationale for studying microthromboembolism after SAH, and describes the limited experience with the assessment of microthromboembolism in an SAH mouse model.
