The purposes of the present study were to summarize the clinical results of patients undergoing CAS using the routine aspiration method and Angioguard XP, and to investigate limitations of this method and countermeasures to prevent ischemic complications. The routine aspiration method was performed in 71 consecutive CAS procedures using Angioguard XP between November 2008 and June 2010. Two patients suffered from stroke within 30 days of the procedures (2.8%). Cerebral infarction occurred during CAS in 1 patient, and cerebral hemorrhage by hyperperfusion syndrome occurred 2 days after CAS in another. In the cerebral infarction case, the ICA was kinking just distal to the stenosis, and the kink was extended by the CAS procedure. A large amount of debris was found in both the retrieved filter and the aspirated blood columns. Even in the routine aspiration method, ischemic complications can occur in a few cases. In cases of a kink in the ICA just distal to the stenosis, avoidance of the kink extension during CAS is recommended to prevent ischemic complications.","PeriodicalId":131030,"journal":{"name":"Surgery for Cerebral Stroke","volume":"10 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2011-03-31","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"129790272","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The fluid attenuated inversion recovery (FLAIR) image of a follow-up magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) scan revealed dolichoectasia of the basilar artery with a small luminal thrombus. Thirteen months later, a left cerebellar infarction occurred. The size of the aneurysm and luminal thrombus had increased. The dosage of cilostazol was increased to 200 mg/day. Three weeks later, he suffered a left pontine infarction and 100 mg/day of aspirin was added to the treatment regimen. Seventeen months after the cerebellar infarction, the aneurysm enlarged further. Surgical treatment was performed using a flow reduction method. After anastomoses of the right superficial temporal artery-superior cerebellar artery and left superficial temporal artery-posterior cerebral artery were performed, the bilateral vertebral arteries were embolized using a coil. The patient became comatose 12 hours after the last procedure. Three-dimensional computed tomography angiography revealed the complete occlusion of the basilar artery. Four days later, recanalization of the basilar artery was achieved by using an intravenous urokinase infusion. Nevertheless, marked infarction occurred in the bilateral cerebellar hemispheres and brain stem. He died and an autopsy was performed. The aneurysm was found embedded in the brain stem at autopsy. A microscopic examination showed fragmentation of the internal elastic lamina with atrophy of the muscle layer and adventitia. Neoangiogenesis within the thickened intima may have caused intramural hemorrhage and thrombus formation. Furthermore, a new sickle-shaped clot located between the arterial wall and the old thrombus may have caused the hemodynamic expansion of the aneurysm. Antiplatelet drugs were used to treat ischemic events caused by perforator or branch occlusion. However, use of these drugs should be carefully considered with regards to the risk of potentiating the compression of the brain stem due to aneurysmal enlargement.","PeriodicalId":131030,"journal":{"name":"Surgery for Cerebral Stroke","volume":"1 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2011-03-31","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"130131723","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Seventy-one and 61-year-old women experienced a subarachnoid hemorrhage and were found to have fusiform aneurysms showing a pearl-and-string appearance at the distal PICA peripheral to the choroidal point. Both aneurysms were trapped and pathologically examined. The aneurysms show similar pathological findings. The aneurysm walls, which lost both the internal elastic lamina and the vascular smooth muscle layer, had an area of marked fibrous thickening as well as an area of thinning. Infiltration of inflammatory cells, primarily monocytes, was seen localized within the wall of the rupture area. There was no evidence of an acute dissecting aneurysm even though the radiological results are compatible with a dissecting aneurysm. Arteriosclerotic factors can also be excluded because no fat cells or degenerated cells were observed. In both aneurysms, we speculate, hemodynamic factors in areas where a congenital defect of the internal elastic lamina in the peripheral PICA may have led to aneurysm formation and rupturing.","PeriodicalId":131030,"journal":{"name":"Surgery for Cerebral Stroke","volume":"25 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2011-01-31","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"133890096","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Within 3 hours after the onset of symptoms, CTA was performed in 48 patients with SAH. CTA was repeated on Day 5-8 (median 7) and Day 12-15 (median 14) to assess VS. Vasospasm was defined as ≥25% vascular narrowing, and rated with the following criteria (degree of VS): moderate spasm (25-50% decrease in vessel diameter), and severe spasm (≥50% decrease). Vasospasm was also categorized as follows (CTA grade): no VS, local VS, and diffuse VS. By local VS we mean an area of narrowing of the vessel in continuity with an aneurysm and not extending more than 2 cm to the aneurysm, or limited to the A-1, A-2 portion (≤2 cm). Diffuse VS means any stenosis affecting either a long segment of vessel or distal segments of cerebral arteries. Aggressive treatments for the VS including triple H therapy were started, when either SVS was revealed or Diffuse VS was detected on CTA. We statistically investigate correlations of Hunt and Kosnik grade, Fisher CT group, degree of VS, and CTA grade, with SVS, cerebral infarction, and mRS. Of the 48 patients, 32 (67%) showed VS and 19 (40%) revealed SVS by the 3rd CTA. Cerebral infarction on CT was detected in 13 (27%) patients. With logistic regression analysis, CTA grade significantly correlated with SVS and infarction, while Hunt and Kosnik grade and age of the patients significantly correlated with mRS. Prospective evaluation of CTA following SAH might allow early recognition of VS and promote aggressive treatment and improved neurological outcomes.","PeriodicalId":131030,"journal":{"name":"Surgery for Cerebral Stroke","volume":"36 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2011-01-31","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"116587314","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

From January 1, 2005 to April 30, 2008, we encountered 330 cases of aneurysmal SAH, and treated 285 cases. Of these, 65 were excluded as unsuitable for this study, for reasons such as lack of SPECT data, external decompression, admission over 7 days from SAH onset. We studied 220 cases treated by microsurgical clipping (n=178) or endovascular coil embolization (n=42). Vasoparalysis was defined as a rise in resting CBF and a loss of vascular reserve on SEE analysis of CBF-SPECT. Vasoparalysis occurred in 15 cases (6.8%). Of these, 9 cases (60.0%) had cerebral hematoma, temporary clips had been used in the operation for 8 cases (53.3%), 9 cases (60.0%) experienced postoperative cerebral infarction, and 3 cases (20.0%) had postoperative convulsions. Vasoparalysis occurs in relation to perioperative cerebral damage. In terms of the loss of vascular reserve following SAH, vasoparalysis resembles hemodynamic cerebral ischemia, although the conditions are quite different. Differentiating between these 2 conditions is important, as different forms of management are required. Dual table ARG and SEE analysis are very useful for the evaluating these 2 conditions.","PeriodicalId":131030,"journal":{"name":"Surgery for Cerebral Stroke","volume":"24 139 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2011-01-31","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"116212051","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
