In this study, changes in blood coagulation and fibrinolysis in the acute stage of subarachnoid hemorrhage (SAH) from ruptured intracranial aneurysms were investigated, and the effects of the platelet aggregation inhibitor ticlopidine and cisternal drainage were evaluated. All of the 53 patients underwent early surgery, and 27 patients received ticlopidine postoperatively. Cisternal drainage was implemented in 15 cases of severe SAH treated after late 1986. Of the hematologic factors studied, the activated partial thromboplastin time, fibrin and fibrinogen degradation products, fibrinogen, and platelet aggregation rate were found to be abnormal in the acute phase of SAH, and the "intravascular factor" scale obtained was also noted to be significantly (p less than 0.01) related to the outcome. Ticlopidine was consistently effective in reducing platelet aggregation but had little effect on other blood parameters. Cisternal drainage resulted in a significantly (p less than 0.01) lower incidence of symptomatic vasospasm and higher rate of good outcome. These results suggest that ticlopidine therapy plus cisternal drainage is highly beneficial in SAH, and that coagulation and fibrinolysis data are useful in determining the prognosis.
