Single versus bilateral external ventricular drainage for intraventricular fibrinolysis in severe ventricular haemorrhage

Background:Intraventricular fibrinolysis (IVF) through bilateral external ventricular drains (EVD) may provide better access of the thrombolytic agent to the intraventricular clot, potentially influencing clot clearance and outcome.Methods:Patients with spontaneous ganglionic intracerebral haemorrha...
