Abstract

Objective: The pathogenesis and treatment of cerebral vasospasm (CV) after subarachnoid hemorrhage (SAH) remains a matter of discussion. The authors investigated the efficacy of GYKI 52466, a 2,3-benzodiazepine that is a selective and potent alpha-amino-3-hydroxy-5-methylisoxazole-4-proprionic acid (AMPA) receptor antagonist, in a rat femoral artery vasospasm model.
