Because of the naturally low fibrinolytic activity of CSF many erythrocytes entrapped in subarachnoid blood clot undergo hemolysis in situ, releasing vasogenic oxyhemoglobin (OxyHb) in high concentrations around the basal cerebral arteries. In order to promote more rapid clearance of erythrocytes from the basal subarachnoid cisterns we are currently investigating intrathecal thrombolytic therapy with human, recombinant, tissue plasminogen activator (rt-PA) in a primate model of subarachnoid hemorrhage (SAH) and cerebral vasospasm (VSP). In the present study 16 monkeys were divided into 4 groups of 4, and each group received a different dose of sustained-release gel rt-PA at the time of experimental SAH. Cerebral angiography seven days later showed that whereas no VSP occurred in the groups receiving 0.5 or 0.75 mg of rt-PA, mild to moderate VSP occurred in the groups receiving 0.125 or 0.25 mg of rt-PA. Analysis of the combined 2 smaller dosage groups revealed significant (P<0.05) reduction of lumen caliber in the clotside internal carotid (C3 and C4), proximal anterior cerebral (A1) and middle cerebral (MCA) arteries. Gross subarachnoid clot remained in all of the animals in the 0.125 and 0.25 mg dose groups, in 2 of the animals in the 0.5 mg dose group, and none of the animals in the 0.75 mg dose group. It was concluded that 0.75 mg of gel rt-PA is sufficient to completely lyse a 4.25 ml SAH and prevent VSP in our primate model. The literature on fibrinolysis and erythrocyte clearance in cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) is reviewed.
