Role of Platelet-Derived Growth Factor in Cerebral Vasospasm After Subarachnoid Hemorrhage in Rats

Background and purpose: The role of platelet-derived growth factor (PDGF) remains unknown in cerebral vasospasm after subarachnoid hemorrhage (SAH). In this study, we examined the effects of PDGF receptor (PDGFR) inactivation on cerebral vasospasm in the endovascular perforation model of SAH in rats.
