Cochrane reviews

Antiplatelet agents may slightly improve the outcome in patients with aneurysmal subarachnoid haemorrhage but at the increased risk for haemorrhagic complications Antiplatelet Therapy for Aneurysmal Subarachnoid Haemorrhage.
Endothelin receptor antagonists appear to reduce delayed ischemic neurological deficit and angiographic vasospasm in subarachnoid hemorrhage but at the cost of adverse events and the impact on clinical outcome appears to be unclear Endothelin Receptor Antagonists for Subarachnoid Hemorrhage.
Endovascular coiling of a ruptured aneurysm in the brain appears to lead to a better outcome than surgical clipping in patients who are in good clinical condition and suitable for either treatment Endovascular Coiling Versus Neurosurgical Clipping for Aneurysmal Subarachnoid Haemorrhage.
Antifibrinolytic treatment does not improve clinical outcome in people after subarachnoid haemorrhage (SAH), although it does reduce the risk of rebleeding Antifibrinolytic Therapy for Aneurysmal Subarachnoid Haemorrhage.
