Neurological status was recorded before and after the procedure, and cerebral angiography was performed before and after the procedure.\n          <\/jats:p>\n          <jats:p>\n            <jats:bold>\n              <jats:italic>Results\u2014<\/jats:italic>\n            <\/jats:bold>\n            No complications occurred in this short series. The procedure appeared to be simple and safe. Horner\u2019s signs appeared within 12\u00b10.1 minutes and lasted for an average of 6.3\u00b14 hours. In all patients, improved cerebral perfusion was detected at the confirmatory angiography but without change in vessel caliber. One patient died of the complications of the initial hemorrhage, and 2 died of the consequences of the severe vasospasm despite maximal medical treatment. In all the other cases, the neurological status promptly returned to normal within 48 hours after the locoregional treatment.\n          <\/jats:p>\n          <jats:p>\n            <jats:bold>\n              <jats:italic>Conclusions\u2014<\/jats:italic>\n            <\/jats:bold>\n            Patients with mild to moderate symptoms seem to benefit greatly from transient ipsilateral cervical sympathetic block. This simple technique may be helpful when used as an adjunct to the standard therapy to improve cerebral perfusion.\n          <\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.1161\/01.str.0000060893.72098.80","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2003,4,3]],"date-time":"2003-04-03T21:47:26Z","timestamp":1049406446000},"page":"961-967","update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.1161\/crossmarkpolicy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":85,"title":["Cervical Sympathetic Block to Reverse Delayed Ischemic Neurological Deficits After Aneurysmal Subarachnoid Hemorrhage"],"prefix":"10.1161","volume":"34","author":[{"given":"Miriam M.","family":"Treggiari","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"From the Division of Surgical Intensive Care, Department of Anesthesia, Pharmacology, and Surgical Intensive Care (M.M.T., J-A.R.); Division of Neurosurgery (A.R., N. de T.); and Division of Diagnostic and Interventional Radiology (J-B.M., D.A.R.), Geneva University Hospital, Geneva, Switzerland."}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Jacques-Andre\u0301","family":"Romand","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"From the Division of Surgical Intensive Care, Department of Anesthesia, Pharmacology, and Surgical Intensive Care (M.M.T., J-A.R.); Division of Neurosurgery (A.R., N. de T.); and Division of Diagnostic and Interventional Radiology (J-B.M., D.A.R.), Geneva University Hospital, Geneva, Switzerland."}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Jean-Baptiste","family":"Martin","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"From the Division of Surgical Intensive Care, Department of Anesthesia, Pharmacology, and Surgical Intensive Care (M.M.T., J-A.R.); Division of Neurosurgery (A.R., N. de T.); and Division of Diagnostic and Interventional Radiology (J-B.M., D.A.R.), Geneva University Hospital, Geneva, Switzerland."}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Alain","family":"Reverdin","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"From the Division of Surgical Intensive Care, Department of Anesthesia, Pharmacology, and Surgical Intensive Care (M.M.T., J-A.R.); Division of Neurosurgery (A.R., N. de T.); and Division of Diagnostic and Interventional Radiology (J-B.M., D.A.R.), Geneva University Hospital, Geneva, Switzerland."}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Daniel A.","family":"Ru\u0308fenacht","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"From the Division of Surgical Intensive Care, Department of Anesthesia, Pharmacology, and Surgical Intensive Care (M.M.T., J-A.R.); Division of Neurosurgery (A.R., N. de T.); and Division of Diagnostic and Interventional Radiology (J-B.M., D.A.R.), Geneva University Hospital, Geneva, Switzerland."}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Nicolas","family":"de Tribolet","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"From the Division of Surgical Intensive Care, Department of Anesthesia, Pharmacology, and Surgical Intensive Care (M.M.T., J-A.R.); Division of Neurosurgery (A.R., N. de T.); and Division of Diagnostic and Interventional Radiology (J-B.M., D.A.R.), Geneva University Hospital, Geneva, Switzerland."}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]}],"member":"276","reference":[{"key":"e_1_3_1_1_2","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1227\/00006123-199011000-00010"},{"key":"e_1_3_1_2_2","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1227\/00006123-199201000-00003"},{"key":"e_1_3_1_3_2","first-page":"831","volume":"46","year":"2000","unstructured":"Buchanan KM, Elias LJ, Goplen GB.
