Arteriopathic complications during treatment of subarachnoid hemorrhage with epsilon-aminocaproic acid

Abstract

✓ A review of arteriopathic complications in three of seven patients receiving epsilon-aminocaproic acid (EACA) is presented. All seven patients with subarachnoid hemorrhage due to ruptured aneurysm were receiving EACA in the presurgical treatment period. Each of the three patients showed cerebral arteriographic changes resembling arteritis or intravascular thrombosis, and a deteriorating clinical course.
