Abstract excerpt
Because it has been argued that active myogenic tone prolongs cerebral vasospasm for >2 wk after subarachnoid hemorrhage (SAH), we attempted to identify the mechanism that plays the main role in sustaining the prolonged cerebral vasospasm. We especially focused on the roles of biomechanical and phenotypic changes in the cerebral arteries in the mechanisms of prolonged vasospasm after SAH. We used the basilar...
