Abstract

The pathogenesis of delayed cerebral ischemia (DCI) in aneurysmal subarachnoid hemorrhage (aSAH) is multi-factorial and not completely elucidated. Matrix metalloproteinase-9 (MMP-9) might participate in wall remodeling leading to luminal narrowing. The authors investigated MMP-9 concentration in brain extracellular fluid of aSAH patients and assessed whether this enzyme could have a predictive value for the risk of DCI.
