CT Perfusion Imaging to Predict Vasospasm in Subarachnoid Hemorrhage

Sponsor: Nova Scotia Health Authority

View on ClinicalTrials.gov

Summary

Patients with brain hemorrhage resulting from a ruptured aneurysm (SAH) are at risk of developing a condition called vasospasm, one or two weeks after their hemorrhage. This is a major cause of stroke and death following SAH. A special type of CT scan, called CT perfusion, analyzes regional blood flow in the brain. We hypothesize that CT perfusion scans performed on admission and day 6 post-hemorrhage will enable us to predict which patients will go on to develop vasospasm.
