Abstract
Objective: Acute aneurysmal rupture can be treated with endovascular therapy or surgical clipping. For patients with concurrent acute hydrocephalus, the placement of an external ventricular drainage (EVD) is required. This study aims to investigate the impact of pre-treatment EVD placement on rebleeding in ruptured aneurysms and to examine the influence of dual antiplatelet therapy and the sequencing of dual antiplatelet therapy with EVD placement on EVD-related hematomas.
Methods: We reviewed the clinical data of 83 patients with ruptured aneurysms who underwent EVD placement from a total of 606 aneurysm patients consecutively admitted between January 2018 and January 2023. The analysis focused on the impact of pre-treatment EVD placement on aneurysmal rebleeding and the effect of dual antiplatelet therapy and its sequencing with EVD placement on EVD-related hematomas.
Results: Among the 503 patients with ruptured aneurysms, 83 required EVD placement. EVD was placed before aneurysm treatment in 63 patients and after treatment in 20 patients. The number of aneurysmal rebleeding cases in the pre-treatment EVD group and non-EVD group was 1 (1.6%) and 20 (4.8%), respectively (p = 0.406). 31 patients (37.3%) underwent stent-assisted embolization or flow diversion requiring dual antiplatelet therapy, while 52 patients (62.7%) underwent simple embolization or surgical clipping without antiplatelet therapy. EVD-related hematomas occurred in 14 patients (16.9%), with 10 cases (32.3%) in those receiving dual antiplatelet therapy and 4 cases (7.7%) in those not receiving antiplatelet therapy (p = 0.01). Among 16 patients who had EVD placed before dual antiplatelet therapy, 4 (25%) developed EVD-related hematomas. Of the 15 patients who had EVD placed after dual antiplatelet therapy, 6 (40%) developed EVD-related hematomas (p = 0.458).
Conclusion: In patients with aneurysmal subarachnoid hemorrhage (aSAH) and acute hydrocephalus, the placement of EVD before aneurysm treatment does not increase the risk of rebleeding. However, dual antiplatelet therapy increases the risk of EVD-related hematoma, and the sequence of EVD placement relative to dual antiplatelet therapy does not appear to significantly affect the outcome of EVD-related hematoma.
期刊介绍：
Evidence of surgical interventions go back to prehistoric times. Since then, the field of surgery has developed into a complex array of specialties and procedures, particularly with the advent of microsurgery, lasers and minimally invasive techniques. The advanced skills now required from surgeons has led to ever increasing specialization, though these still share important fundamental principles.
Frontiers in Surgery is the umbrella journal representing the publication interests of all surgical specialties. It is divided into several “Specialty Sections” listed below. All these sections have their own Specialty Chief Editor, Editorial Board and homepage, but all articles carry the citation Frontiers in Surgery.
Frontiers in Surgery calls upon medical professionals and scientists from all surgical specialties to publish their experimental and clinical studies in this journal. By assembling all surgical specialties, which nonetheless retain their independence, under the common umbrella of Frontiers in Surgery, a powerful publication venue is created. Since there is often overlap and common ground between the different surgical specialties, assembly of all surgical disciplines into a single journal will foster a collaborative dialogue amongst the surgical community. This means that publications, which are also of interest to other surgical specialties, will reach a wider audience and have greater impact.
The aim of this multidisciplinary journal is to create a discussion and knowledge platform of advances and research findings in surgical practice today to continuously improve clinical management of patients and foster innovation in this field.
