Various therapeutic strategies have been recently proposed to prevent the vasospasm after subarachnoid haemorrhage, and to avoid its clinical consequences. Despite these progresses, mortality and morbidity of delayed ischaemic consequences of vasospasm remain important. Two endovascular treatments have been proposed. The successful use of transluminal angioplasty for vasospasm was first reported by Zubkov in 1984. Transluminal angioplasty is very effective with clinical improvement when the treatment is undertaken without delay after the onset of symptoms. Limitations of this technique are the inaccessibility of distal arteries and the risks (vascular rupture or occlusion). More recently, to overcome these limitations, a selective intraarterial infusion of papaverine has been proposed. These infusions are less risky and can be employed in distal vasospasm. However, clinical results seem to be less favourable and often transient. These two techniques are still used with slightly different indications. According to our experience, it seems reasonable to reserve transluminal angioplasty for symptomatic vasospasm, associated with papaverine or not, and to use papaverine alone in all other cases.
