RESUMO
Objective:To investigate the safety and efficacy of Tubridge flow diverter for the treatment of recurrent internal carotid blood blister-like aneurysms after stent-assisted embolization.Methods:From June 2018 to April 2021, patients with recurrent internal carotid blood blister-like aneurysms treated with Tubridge flow diverter in the Department of Neurosurgery, Changhai Hospital, Naval Medical University were enrolled retrospectively. The perioperative safety, immediate postoperative and follow-up results were analyzed.Results:A total of 6 patients with recurrent internal carotid blood blister-like aneurysm after stent-assisted embolization were enrolled. The time interval from the first stent-assisted embolization to Tubridge placement was 14 to 90 d. Tubridge implantation alone was used in 4 patients, and Tubridge was implanted in the other 2 patients after the coils were packed. There were no complications during the perioperative period, and no rebleeding was observed after clinical follow-up for 5 to 36 months. Five patients were followed up by angiography for 1-3 months, and the aneurysms disappeared completely.Conclusion:Tubridge flow diverter for the treatment of recurrent internal carotid blood blister-like aneurysms is safe and effective.
RESUMO
Objective To evaluate the risk factors for interventional treatment of neurological complications in elderly patients with rupture intracranial aneurysms.Methods Form December 2004 to December 2014,520 consecutive old patients (≥ 60 years) with ruptured intracranial aneurysm treated at the Department of Neurosurgery,Changhai Hospital,the Second Military Medical University were enrolled retrospectively.The imaging and clinical follow-up results at day 30 after procedure were documented.According to whether the occurrence of interventional therapy-related neurological complications (including intraoperative aneurysm rupture,interventional therapy-related thromboembolic events,early postoperative aneurysm rebleeding,new postoperative subdural hemorrhage or intraparenchymal hemorrhage),they were divided into a complication group (n =68) and a non-complication group (n =452).Univariate statistical analysis and multivariate Logistic regression analysis were used to screen the independent risk factors for the occurrence of neurologic complications after interventional therapy.Results The incidence of neurological complications in 520 patients with aneurysm was 13.1％ (n =68).Multivariate Logistic regression analysis showed that the history of hypertension (OR,2.207,95 ％ CI 1.149-4.240,P ＜ 0.05),Hunt-Hess grade Ⅳ-Ⅴ (OR,4.287,95％ CI 2.048-8.971,P ＜ 0.01),Fisher grade Ⅲ-Ⅳ (OR,2.686,95％ CI 1.483-4.865,P ＜ 0.01),wide-neeked aneurysm (OR,2.884,95 ％ CI 1.511-5.505,P ＜ 0.01),aneurysm bleb (OR,4.560,95 ％ CI 2.500-8.321,P ＜ 0.01),and aneurysm ＜ 3 mm (OR,5.748,95 ％ CI 2.122-15.570,P ＜ 0.01) were the independent risk factors for treatment-related neurological complications in the interventional treatment of intracranial ruptured aneurysms in the elderly.Conclusion The history of hypertension,high Hunt-Hess grade,high Fisher grade,wide-neck aneurysm,aneurysm bleb,and micro-aneurysm are the independent risk factors for treatment-related neurological complications in interventional treatment of intracranial ruptured aneurysms in the elderly.
RESUMO
Objective To investigate the feasibility of the arterial wall imaging technology of high-resolution magnetic resonance imaging ( HR-MRI) in the risk assessment of intracranial aneurysm rupture. Methods Fifty-four patients with 66 intracranial aneurysms underwent 3. 0 T HR-MRI multiple sequences arterial wall imaging from November 2013 to March 2015 were analyzed retrospectively. Five patients with ruptured aneurysm were used as a control group. The characteristic differences of aneurysm lesions between an unruptured intracranial aneurysm ( UIA) wall enhancement group and a non-enhancement group were compared. The risk factors for rupture were analyzed according to the size,location, and basic clinical characteristics of aneurysm. Results (1) HR-MRI revealed that whether the aneurysm walls enhanced or not,there were no significant differences in the location size,wide-necked aneurysm or not,and ratios of aneurysm height and neck width (all P >0. 05). (2) The enhancement rates of the aneurysm volume <2 group and ≥2 group were 20%(8/40) and 61. 9%(13/21) respectively,the incidence of the ruptured aneurysm asci was higher than that of UIA,and there was significant difference ( all P<0. 05). There were no significant differences in neck width,rate of aneurysm volume,ratios of aneurysm height and neck width,and enhancement rates among the groups. Conclusion The preliminary results of this study have showed that there is a related trend between the HR-MRI aneurysm wall enhancement and the risk of rupture,but a further large sample follow-up study is needed.
