Conivaptan for the Reduction of Cerebral Edema in Intracerebral Hemorrhage: A Safety and Tolerability Study

Perihematomal edema (PHE) growth in intracranial hemorrhage (ICH) is a biomarker for worse outcomes. Although the management of PHE is potentially beneficial for ICH patients, there is currently no proven clinical therapy that both reduces PHE and improves outcomes in this population. To examine the safety and tolerability of conivaptan, a non-peptide vasopressin (AVP) receptor antagonist, for the management of PHE in ICH patients. We performed...
