Anesthesia

Endovascular vasospasm treatment is usually performed under general anesthesia if angioplasty is planned or possible. In cooperative or sedated patients, intra-arterial catheterization and injection of spasmolytic agents can be performed with moderate sedation.

Tools Review (See Chap. 1)

Sheaths: A 6 French sheath is typically necessary to perform either angioplasty and/or intra-arterial infusion of vasodilators. At our institution a 23 cm sheath is utilized in patients older than 50 years of age while a shorter 11 cm sheath is used in younger patients.
