Özet

Background: Despite the years of study on it, cerebral vasospasm following subarachnoid hemorrhage is still an important cause of mortality and morbidity. The presented study was undertaken to show whether phosphodiesterase inhibitor tadalafil can attenuate the vasospasm process following subarachnoid bleeding.
