A method for accelerating subcutaneous absorption of a fluid or drug into the systemic circulation of a specific targeted tissue. A first drug operative to produce local capillary vasodilatation and/or increase the rate of bulk flow of solution through the interstitial space is mixed with a fluid. The fluid may contain a crystalloid solution or a dilute solution of a pharmacologic drug required for a routine or emergency therapeutic treatment for a patient. The first drug is substantially non-toxic to the patient. The fluid mixed with the first drug is then delivered subcutaneously or into deeper tissues of the patient, by use of a hyperdermic needle or infiltration cannula. As the capillaries are dilated, the fluid is efficiently absorbed and circulated systemically.

Linking Magnesium ions to Nitric Oxide precursor L-Arginine, chemically 2-amino-5-guanidino valeric acid, with a platelet aggregation inhibitor compound such as, but not limited to acetylsalicylic acid or clopidogrel bisulfate, unexpectedly results in a pharmaceutically stabilized compositions with extended shelf life to be taken orally to provide gradual release vasodilatory and anti-platelet aggregation pharmacological activity with reduced potential for producing gastrointestinal lesions. L-Arginine releases ADNO (Arginine derived Nitric Oxide) in the coronary artery epithelium as EDRF (endothelium dependent relaxing factor) to dilate the arteries to promote blood flow to the myocardium, and the platelet aggregation inhibitor such acetylsalicylic acid or clopidogrel and others of this class of drugs inhibits or antagonizes the aggregation adhesion of platelets in the blood stream. Aggregated or clumped blood platelets contribute to arterial stenosis due to formation of atherosclerotic plaques that occlude coronary and other circulatory arteries. In addition to coronary arteries, atherosclerotic plaques can occlude and stenose carotid arteries and femoral arteries due to aggregated or clumped blood platelets, and the subject of this patent discovery will also be of cardiovascular health benefit respectively in preventing carotid cerebrovascular accidents and femoral artery leg circulation disease.

A method of treating cerebral vasospasm includes delivering at least a first blood vessel including an expandable segment to a position within a blocked or constricted portion of a vessel and transitioning the expandable segment from a collapsed configuration to an expanded configuration to dilate the vessel and to restore adequate blood flow through the vessel. The expandable segment has a pre-set outer diameter substantially equal to or less than an inner diameter of the vessel. Additionally, the expandable segment is configured to expand with a minimal amount of radial force necessary to contact and expand the inner walls of the vessel. After dilation of the vessel, the device is removed from the patient's body. If necessary, additional blood vessel dilation devices each including an expandable segment having a pre-set outer diameter greater than the previous device's expandable segment can be used in order of increasing pre-set outer diameter of the expanded segment to further dilate the blocked or constricted portion of the vessel and restore blood flow through the vessel. Once adequate blood flow through the vessel has been restored, the blood vessel dilation device is withdrawn.
