A group of 392 patients was analyzed (160 before versus 232 after January 2015). Distal balloon angioplasty was associated with the following: higher rates of angioplasty (43% versus 27%) and intravenous milrinone (31% versus 9%); lower rates of postangioplasty delayed cerebral infarction (2.2% versus 7.5%) and new angioplasty (8% versus 19%) independent of the rate of patients treated by angioplasty and milrinone; and the same rates of stroke related to angioplasty (3.6% versus 3.1%), delayed cerebral infarction (7.7% versus 12.5%), mortality (10% versus 11%), and favorable outcome (79% versus 73%). The authors conclude that distal balloon angioplasty is safe and decreases the risk of delayed cerebral infarction and the recurrence of vasospasm compared with conventional angioplasty. It fails to show a clinical benefit possibly because of confounding changes in adjuvant therapies of vasospasm during the study period.
