Methods Twenty-two of 365 aneurysm patients who had undergone endovascular treatment between March 2007 and January 2010 in our hospital had perioperative complications. We retrospectively analyzed their clinical data. Results Twenty-two patients had perioperative complications, accounting for about 6%. The aneurysm was ruptured in 6 cases, which occurred before surgery in 2 patients, during the surgery in 3, and after the surgery in 1. There were 10 cases of cerebrovascular spasm, 4 cases of cerebrovascular thrombosis, and 2 cases of puncture site hematoma. Conclusion During the perioperative period of endovascular treatment for intracranial aneurysms, prognostic prevention measures, observation of the occurrence of major complications and proper management of complications can effectively reduce mortality and the degree of disability.

Methods According to the disease treatment principle of DCT, 76 patients with AVM diagnosed in our hospital from March 2007 to March 2009 were treated actively, and the treatment results were analyzed. Results The risk factors of AVM was controlled, the development risk of AVM slowed down, and the therapeutic effect was satisfactory. Conclusion According to the DCT principle, we could improve the survival rate of the patients, control the risk factors effectively, and improve the prognosis of the disease. DCT principle is clinically significant to guide the treatment of AVM.
Objective To summarize the diagnosis and endovascular treatment of middle cerebral artery (MCA) bifurcation aneurysm. Methods Between January 2010 and June 2011, 32 patients with MCA bifurcation aneurysm underwent endovascular treatment. There were 12 males and 20 females, aged 49.5 years on average (range, 35-81 years). All patients had sudden headache, 2 cases had disturbance of consciousness and hemi plegia, and 22 cases had a history ofhypertension. Before operation, 10 cases were classified as Hunt-Hess level I, 15 cases as level II, and 7 cases as level III; 24 cases were classified as Fisher level II and 8 cases as level III. The patients underwent coil embolization using single microcatheter in 16 cases, using double microcatheter in 7 cases, using balloon-assisted in 4 cases, using single stent in 4 cases, and using double stent in 1 case. Results The results of postoperative immediate digital subtraction angiography showed that 30 patients achieved dense embolization, and 2 patients using single microcatheter achieved approximated dense embolization. Among them, 18 cases suffered extensive subarachnoid hemorrhage, thus lumbar puncture continued drainage was performed for 3-7 days; the other 14 cases had l ittle subarachnoid hemorrhage, lumbar puncture released hemorrhagic cerebrospinal fluid discontinuously, and after1 week, head CT demonstrated that subarachnoid hemorrhage was significantly decreased. At 1 day after surgery, 2 patients had local cerebral ischemia; after Nimotop and other drugs were used for 1 week, the symptom was alleviative. All 32 patients were followed up 4 to 17 months. No aneurysm rupture and bleed occurred during follow-up; no other complications or sequelae was observed except for 3 cases of hemiparesis and 1 case of aphasia. The computed tomographic angiography examination showed no re-open of dense embolized aneurysm at 3, 6 months, and 1 year after surgery. Conclusion As long as appropriate intervention treatment method is chosen, endovascular treatment of MCA bifurcation aneurysm is safe and effective.
There was no enough evidence to support the view that endovascular treatment could alternate the endarterectomy to be a standard treatment of carotid stenosis. A recent Cochrane systematic review found no difference in major outcomes between endovascular treatment and surgery. The randomised trials provided data to show that the main advantage of endovascular treatment for carotid artery stenosis was the avoidance of minor complications such as cranial nerve palsy and wound haematoma of surgery. Longer term follow also showed no difference in the rate of stroke during follow-up, but the confidence intervals were very wide allowing the possibility of a substantial difference in risk and benefits of the two treatments. There was no difference in avoidance of stroke between carotid stenting using protection devices and surgery, and the protection devices could cause additional complications.
ObjectiveTo report our clinical experience and outcomes of thoracic endovascular aortic repair (TEVAR) for acute Stanford type A dissection using ascending aorta replacement combined with implantation of a fenestrated stent-graft of the entire aortic arch through a minimally invasive technique. MethodsFrom 2016 to 2020 in our hospital, 24 patients (17 males and 7 females, aged 45-72 years) with complicated Stanford type A aortic dissection, underwent replacement of the proximal ascending aorta with TEVAR. None of the patients with dissection involved the three branches of the superior arch, and all patients were replaced with artificial blood vessels of the ascending aorta under non-hypothermic cardiopulmonary bypass, preserving the arch and the three branches above the arch, and individualized stent graft fenestration. ResultsSurgical technical success rate was 100.0%. There was no intraoperative complication or evidence of endo-leak in 1 month postoperatively. Hospital stay was 10±5 d. During postoperative follow-up, the stent was unobstructed without displacement, the preserved branch of the aortic arch was unobstructed, and the true lumen of the descending aorta was enlarged. Conclusion This hybrid technique by using TEVAR with fenestrated treatment is a minimally invasive and effective method to treat high-risk patients with acute Stanford type A aortic dissection.
Objective To explore the efficacy of endovascular therapy in elderly patients with acute ischemic stroke. Methods The acute ischemic stroke patients who received endovascular therapy between January 2020 and January 2023 were retrospectively enrolled. According to age, patients were divided into the elderly group (≥ 80 years old) and other age groups (<80 years old). The baseline data, green channel data, nerve function deficit, recanalization and complication information were collected, and the patients were followed up. Modified Rankin Scale (mRS) was used to evaluate patients prognosis at 3 months after onset. Score less than or equal to 2 points was defined as good prognosis and over 2 points was defined as poor prognosis. Results A total of 138 patients were included, and 7 patients were lost to follow-up. Finally, 131 patients were included. Among them, there were 50 cases in the elderly group and 81 cases in the other age group. There were statistically significant differences in age, hypertension, atrial fibrillation, and vascular recanalization between the elderly group and the other age group (P<0.05). There was no statistically significant difference in the other baseline data, complications, 3-month prognosis, or mortality between the two groups (P>0.05). The results of multivariate logistic regression analysis showed that the National Institute of Health Stroke Scale score at admission [odds ratio (OR)=1.150, 95% confidence interval (CI) (1.033, 1.281), P=0.011], pulmonary infection [OR=2.933, 95%CI (1.109, 7.758), P=0.030], and hypoproteinemia [OR=3.716, 95%CI (1.226, 11.264), P=0.020] affected the mRS score at 3 months after onset. Conclusions Among the patients with acute ischemic stroke undergoing endovascular therapy, there is no difference in the occurrence of complications or short-term prognosis between elderly patients and other age patients. However, the attention should still be paid to reducing the occurrence of complications in patients, strengthening their nutritional support, and thereby improving their prognosis.
Objective To investigate whether there is an off-hours effect on the endovascular treatment (EVT) process for patients with acute ischemic stroke (AIS) after emergency admission to the hospital. Methods We retrospectively analyzed AIS patients who were admitted to the West China Hospital of Sichuan University on the stroke green channel between September 2019 and August 2023 and planned to perform emergency EVT. The patients were divided into working-hour and off-hour groups according to their admission time. The clinical information, door-to-puncture time (DPT), door-to-head/neck imaging time (DIT) and door-to-blood test time (DBT) of the two groups patients were compared, and subgroup analysis was conducted according to whether they arrived at the hospital at night, before and after the guideline update, and whether they were in the coronavirus disease 2019 epidemic period. Results A total of 586 AIS patients with large vessel occlusion were included, including 220 patients admitted during working hours and 336 patients admitted during off-working hours. There was no statistically significant difference in the basic information and EVT process time between patients admitted during working hours and patients admitted during off-working hours (P>0.05). Subgroup analysis showed that in patients admitted during off-working hours, there was no statistically significant difference in the basic information and EVT process time between patients arrived at the hospital at night and patients did not arrive at the hospital at night (P>0.05). Before and after the guideline updated, there was no statistically significant difference in the basic information and EVT process time between patients admitted during working hours and patients admitted during off-working hours (P>0.05). No matter whether it is in the coronavirus disease 2019 epidemic period, there was no statistically significant difference in the basic information and EVT process time between patients admitted during working hours and patients admitted during off-working hours (P>0.05). Conclusions There is no off-hours effect on the EVT process time after AIS patients arrive at the hospital. In the future, more stroke centers of different levels are needed to further explore the impact of off-hours effect on emergency diagnosis and treatment of AIS patients.
