TL;DR
It is demonstrated that apoptosis occurred in the cerebral arteries in a patient who died of cerebral vasospasm, which is a prolonged contraction that leads to cerebral ischemia or infarction.
Abstract
This study demonstrates that apoptosis occurred in the cerebral arteries in a patient who died of cerebral vasospasm. The possible role of apoptosis in cerebral vasospasm is discussed.

Apoptosis seems to be involved in cell turnover in many healthy adult tissues and is responsible for focal elimination of cells during normal embryonic development, and participates in at least some types of therapeutically induced tumour regression.

It is now know that vasospasm represents sustained arterial contraction rather than structural thickening of the vessel wall with lumen encroachment, and a large body of evidence points to oxyhemoglobin, released from lysing erythrocytes, as the principal component of blood clot responsible for this contraction.

Data suggest that OxyHb is the cause of cerebral vasospasm following subarachnoid hemorrhage (SAH), a primate model used to determine whether oxyhemoglobin, methemoglobin (MetHb), or bilirubin is likely to be responsible for cerebral vas Hospitals.

The data suggest that structural changes in cerebral arteries after subarachnoid hemorrhage do not directly contribute to vessel narrowing through increases in wall mass, and may reflect pathological mechanisms which act to augment prolonged vasoconstriction or inhibit the maintenance of normal vascular tone.

The results suggest that elevation of PAF and other inflammatory cytokines following SAH may cause the hypercoagulation state that is associated with cerebral vasospasm and internal jugular vein may be more adequate vessel for sampling blood to examine these factors.
Journal of neurosurgeryThe role of hemoglobin in arterial narrowing after subarachnoid hemorrhage
131 Citations1990Marc R. Mayberg, Tomohisa Okada +1 more
Arterial narrowing after SAH is mediated by mechanisms related to prolonged exposure of the vessel wall to hemoglobin or its catabolites from lysing subarachnoid erythrocytes, and the degree of luminal narrowing after exposure to whole blood or RBC's was proportional to the volume of the ery throatcyte mass adjacent to the vessel at sacrifice.

Myofibroblasts and Type V collagen within the medial layer were abundant in vessels showing marked constriction, but were less conspicuous in those arteries showing milder involvement, suggesting that these changes may be related to cerebral vasospasm by holding the damaged vessel in a contracted phase for weeks during the healing period.

In patients with SAH, activation of coagulation and fibrinolysis was strongly associated with clinical state, patient fatality, and outcome at 3 months, and postoperatively this activation correlated with the development of brain infarction.

It is in the context of combined therapy that the reduction in rebleeding will significantly influence patient outcome and the feeling is that, while there is no demonstrated advantage in acute mortality in either of the previously mentioned series, hypertensive, hypervolemic therapy or calcium channel blocking agents might ameliorate the ischemic consequences of therapy.
