ABSTRACT

Objective:To compare the effects of two different surgical methods (endovascular embolization and microsurgical craniotomy) on hemodynamics and quality of life in patients with anterior circulation aneurysms.Methods:From January 2014 to December 2018, 63 patients with anterior circulation aneurysms in Linfen Central Hospital were divided into group A (micro craniotomy) 30 cases and group B (intravascular embolization) 33 cases according to the different operation method.The changes of heart rate, systolic blood pressure, diastolic blood pressure, cardiac output, cardiac output per stroke and cardiac output index were compared between the two groups before operation (T0), during operation (T1), after operation (T2) and 24 hours after operation (T3). The quality of life of the patients was evaluated by the MOS 36-item short-form health status survey (SF-36) at the time of discharge from hospital, and the prognosis of the patients at three months after operation was evaluated by Glasgow outcome score (GOS). The quality of life and complications were evaluated by the ability of daily living and the modified Barthel index.Results:Compared with group A, group B showed a significant increase in cardiac output index[(2.86±0.63)L·min -1·(m 2) -1 vs.(3.39±0.83)L·min -1·(m 2) -1], a significant decrease in heart rate[(90±15)times/min vs.(79±9)times/min], systolic blood pressure[(132±18)mmHg vs.(123±9)mmHg], diastolic blood pressure[(96±13)mmHg vs.(89±12)mmHg] and cardiac output per stroke[(88.64±18.53)mL vs.(78.54±13.35)mL] at T1 ( t=2.50, 3.61, 2.89, 2.63, 3.02, all P< 0.05). Compared with group A, group B showed a significant decrease in heart rate[(86±12)times/min vs.(75±11)times/min], systolic blood pressure[(134±20)mmHg vs.(122±11)mmHg] and diastolic blood pressure[(93±11)mmHg vs.(77±14)mmHg] at T2, and a significant decrease in systolic blood pressure[(128±13)mmHg vs.(113±14)mmHg] and diastolic blood pressure[(85±9)mmHg vs.(78±13)mmHg] at T3 ( t=2.68, 3.14, 3.95, 4.15, 3.05, all P<0.05). The scores of energy[(55.07±8.76)points], physiological function[(53.65±8.62)points], physiological function[(62.25±9.53)points], mental health[(72.26±13.95)points], emotional function[(61.89±12.25)points] and overall health[(47.63±8.61)points] in SF-36 scale in group B were significantly higher than those in group A[(45.86±7.62)points, (49.21±9.76)points, (43.58±8.75)points, (50.14±10.33)points, (44.76±9.42)points, (35.86±7.60)points]( t=4.43, 2.35, 8.07, 7.09, 6.18, 5.73, all P< 0.05). There was no statistically significant difference in GOS score at three months after operation between the two groups ( P>0.05). After 2 years of follow-up, the scores of activities of daily living[(86.89±4.54)points] and modified Barthel index[(1.34±0.42)points] in group B were significantly lower than those in group A[(92.48±6.09)points, (2.79±0.61)points]( t=4.15, 11.07, all P<0.01). There was no statistically significant difference in the incidence of complications between the two groups ( P>0.05). Conclusion:For the patients with anterior circulation aneurysms, the therapeutic effect of microsurgical craniotomy and endovascular embolization is the same, but the latter can stabilize the hemodynamic state of the patients during the operation, and the short-term prognosis is better at discharge, but the long-term prognosis may be worse than that of microsurgical craniotomy.
