ABSTRACT

PURPOSE: The natural evolution of unruptured intracranial aneurysms (UIA) is indeed difficult to predict at the individual level. OBJECTIVE: In a large prospective multicentric European cohort, we aimed to evaluate whether the PHASES, UCAS, and ELPASS scores in patients with aneurysmal subarachnoid hemorrhage would have predicted a high risk of aneurysmal rupture or growth. METHODS: Academic centers treating patients with intracranial aneurysms were invited to prospectively collect de-identified data from all patients admitted at their institution for a subarachnoid hemorrhage-related to intracranial aneurysmal rupture between January 1 and March 31, 2021 through a trainee-led research collaborative network. Each responding center was provided with an electronic case record form (CRF) which collected all the elements of the PHASES, ELAPSS, and UCAS scores. RESULTS: A total of 319 patients with aneurysmal subarachnoid hemorrhage were included at 17 centers during a 3-month period. One hundred eighty-three aneurysms (57%) were less than 7 mm. The majority of aneurysms were located on the anterior communicating artery (n = 131, 41%). One hundred eighty-four patients (57%), 103 patients (32%), and 58 (18%) were classified as having a low risk of rupture or growth, according to the PHASES, UCAS, and ELAPSS scores, respectively. CONCLUSION: In a prospective study of European patients with aneurysmal subarachnoid hemorrhage, we showed that 3 common risk-assessment tools designed for patients with unruptured intracranial aneurysms would have not identified most patients to be at high or intermediate risk for rupture, questioning their use for decision-making in the setting of unruptured aneurysms.

ABSTRACT

An aneurysm is a vascular disorder where ballooning may form in a weakened section of the wall in the blood vessel. The swelling of the aneurysm may lead to its rupture. Intra-cranial aneurysms are the ones presenting the higher risks. If ruptured, the aneurysm may induce a subarachnoid haemorrhage which could lead to premature death or permanent disability. In this study, we are interested in locating and characterizing the bifurcations of the cerebral vascular tree. We use a 3D skeletonization combined with a graph-based approach to detect the bifurcations. In this work, we thus propose a full geometric characterisation of the bifurcations and related arteries. Aside from any genetic predisposition and environmental risk factors, the geometry of the brain vasculature may influence the chance of aneurysm formation. Among the main achievements, in this paper, we propose accurate, predictive 3D measurements of the bifurcations and we furthermore estimate the risk of occurrence of an aneurysm on a given bifurcation.
