A pilot study on assessing the role of intra-operative Flow 800 vascular map model in predicting onset of vasospasm following micro vascular clipping of ruptured intracranial aneurysms.

ABSTRACT: Objective To ascertain the predictive value of intra-operative FLOW 800 vascular map model in predicting onset of post-operative clinical vasospasm and delayed cerebral ischemia among patients undergoing micro-vascular clipping of ruptured intracranial aneurysms.  Material and methods A total of 40 patients were enrolled in the study and their variables such as age, World Federation of Neurological Surgeons (WFNS) grade at presentation, Computerized Tomography (CT) Fisher grading, location of the aneurysms, and Indocyanine Green (ICG) flow status were compared and statistically analyzed along with differences in Absorption Intensities (AI) and difference in time lag values obtained from the FLOW 800 vascular map studies for predicting onset of vasospasm.  Results The R
