Abstract
Objective
To investigate the value of preoperative high-resolution magnetic resonance vessel wall imaging (HRMR-VWI) in stenosis stenting for symptomatic middle cerebral artery.
Methods
The clinical data of 35 patients with atherosclerotic stenosis in middle cerebral artery (MCA) M1 segment who were treated with stenting therapy (stenting angioplasty) at Department of Neurosurgery, Tianjin Huanhu Hospital from August 2011 to May 2019 were analyzed retrospectively. HRMR-VWI results were used to evaluate the location, composition and stability of plaques before operation. The mortality and morbidity at 30 days post operation were determined by clinical follow-up. The ischemic stroke and restenosis rates at 12 months post operation were confirmed by imaging follow-up.
Results
The preoperative HRMR-VWI of 35 patients showed that the plaques in 15 cases were located on the ventral vessel wall, those in 12 on the inferior, and those in 8 on the upper vessel wall. Seven patients had unstable plaques in the M1 segment of MCA. The stents were successfully placed in 35 patients and well adhered with smooth blood flow. Technical complications occurred in 2 (5.7%) patients. One patient (2.8%) died of cerebral hernia due to reperfusion hemorrhage in 30 days after surgery, although decompressive craniectomy and hematoma clearing were performed. One patient (2.8%) had residual neurological dysfunction. Twelve months after the operation, no ischemic stroke occurred in 34 patients, and no restenosis occurred in the 5 patients who were followed up by imaging.
Conclusion
HRMR-VWI has a high diagnostic value for the location and stability of plaques in stenotic sites of MCA, which could improve the safety and effectiveness of stenting of MCA M1 segment stenosis.
