ABSTRACT

Surgery timing after aneurysmal subarachnoid hemorrhage (SAH) may influence the risk of vasospasm after early surgical procedure and is correlated with SAH extensiveness. A group consisting of 127 patients with aneurysmal SAH was studied. The changes of mean flow velocity (MFV) were measured in middle cerebral artery (MCA) and in anterior cerebral artery (ACA) by transcranial Doppler sonography (TCD) in three groups of patients divided according to the surgery timing (on the first, second and third day after SAH). Changes of MFV values in MCA and in ACA were similar in all groups. MFV values in the group of patients operated on the third day were the lowest and the pathologic values lasted for the shortest time. In patients with massive SAH (Fisher IV group) and mild SAH (Fisher II group), the lowest MFV values were observed, if patients were operated within 24 hours after SAH. In patients without SAH (Fisher I group), the MFV values were the lowest, if they were operated on the third day after SAH. In patients with severe SAH (Fisher III group), the lowest risk of vasospasm was observed, if they were operated on the second day after SAH; however, the highest risk was found in patients operated on the first day after SAH. Our study suggests: (1) in patients with severe SAH operated on the second day, the lowest risk of vasospasm was observed, and the highest risk of vasospasm was observed if those were operated on the first day; (2) the highest risk of vasospasm was observed in patients operated within 24 hours with mild and massive SAH and in patients without SAH operated on the third day after SAH.
