Abstract
BACKGROUND Despite the widespread use of heparin during and following endovascular procedures in the management of aneurysmal subarachnoid hemorrhage (SAH) patients, limited research has explored the incidence and impact of heparin-induced thrombocytopenia (HIT) on SAH. METHODS Descriptive statistics, multivariate regressions, and propensity score-matching were employed to compare clinical characteristics, comorbidities, interventions, complications, and outcomes of HIT in SAH patients identified within the US National Inpatient Sample database from 2010 to 2019. RESULTS Among 76 387 SAH patients from 2010 to 2019, 166 (0.22%) developed HIT. HIT was identified as a significant predictor of prolonged length of stay (OR 6.799, 95% CI 3.985 to 11.6, P<0.01) and poor functional outcomes (OR 2.541, 95% CI 1.628 to 3.966, P<0.01) after adjusting for relevant factors. HIT incidence was higher in patients with elevated SAH severity scores (1.42 vs 1.06, P<0.01), younger patients (58.04 vs 61.39 years, P=0.01), overweight individuals (0.4% vs 0.2%, P<0.01), those on long-term anticoagulants (10.84% vs 5.72%, P<0.01), or with a cerebrospinal fluid drainage device (external ventricular drain, ventriculoperitoneal shunt; P<0.01). HIT patients showed increased rates of endovascular coiling, ventricular drain placement, shunt placement, deep vein thrombosis, urinary tract infection, acute kidney injury, pulmonary embolism, venous sinus thrombosis, pneumonia, and cerebral vasospasm (all P<0.01). CONCLUSION SAH patients with HIT exhibited various comorbidities and increased rates of complications, which may contribute to extended hospital stays. This nationwide study aids clinical suspicion and highlights HIT's impact on SAH patients.

Jang H, Cho BR, Jang DK, Kim DS. Feasibility and safety values of activated clotting time-guided systemic heparinization in coil embolization for unruptured intracranial aneurysms. Acta Neurochir (Wien) 2023; 165:3743-3757. [PMID: 37982897 DOI: 10.1007/s00701-023-05869-z] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 06/06/2023] [Accepted: 10/22/2023] [Indexed: 11/21/2023]
Abstract
OBJECTIVE This study aimed to evaluate the feasibility and safety values of activated clotting time (ACT)-guided systemic heparinization in reducing periprocedural thrombosis and bleeding complications during coil embolization of unruptured intracranial aneurysms. METHODS A total of 228 procedures performed on 213 patients between 2016 and 2021 were included in the retrospective analysis. The target ACT was set at 250 s. Logistic regression was performed to assess predictors for the occurrence of thrombosis and bleeding. Receiver operating characteristic (ROC) analyses were employed to determine the optimal cut-off values for ACT, heparinization, and procedure time. RESULTS Most (85.1%) of procedures were stent-assisted embolization. The mean baseline ACT was 128.8 ± 45.7 s. The mean ACT at 20 min after the initial intravenous heparin loading of 78.2 ± 18.8 IU/kg was 185 ± 46.4 s. The mean peak ACT was 255.6 ± 63.8 s with 51.3% (117 cases) achieving the target ACT level. Peak ACT was associated with symptomatic thrombosis (OR per second, 1.008; 95% CI, 1.000-1.016; P = 0.035) (cut-off value, 275 s; area under ROC (AUROC), 0.7624). Total administered heparin dose per body weight was negatively associated with symptomatic thrombosis (OR per IU/kg, 0.972; 95% CI, 0.949-0995; P = 0.018) (cut-off value, 294 IU/kg; AUROC, 0.7426) but positively associated with significant bleeding (OR, 1.008 per IU/kg; 95% CI, 1.005-1.012; P <0 .001) (cut-off value, 242 IU/kg; AUROC, 0.7391). Procedure time was significantly associated with symptomatic thrombosis (OR per minute, 1.05; 95% CI, 1.017-1.084; P value = 0.002) (cut-off value, 158 min; area under ROC, 0.8338). CONCLUSION This study demonstrated that ACT-guided systemic heparinization was feasible to achieve the target ACT value and proposes probable safety thresholds to prevent periprocedural complications through reducing procedure time during coil embolization of unruptured intracranial aneurysms in the stent era.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Neurointerventionists lack guidelines for the use of antithrombotic therapies in their clinical practice; consequently, there is likely to be significant heterogeneity in antithrombotic use between centers. Through a nationwide survey, we aimed to obtain an exhaustive cross-sectional overview of antithrombotic use in neurointerventional procedures in France. METHODS In April 2021, French neurointerventional surgery centers were invited to participate in a nationwide 51-question survey disseminated through an active trainee-led research collaborative network (the JENI-RC). RESULTS All 40 centers answered the survey. Fifty-one percent of centers reported using ticagrelor and 43% used clopidogrel as premedication before intracranial stenting. For flow diversion treatment, dual antiplatelet therapy was maintained for 3 or 6 months in 39% and 53% of centers, respectively, and aspirin was prescribed for 12 months or more than 12 months in 63% and 26% of centers, respectively. For unruptured aneurysms, the most common heparin bolus dose was 50 IU/kg (59%), and only 35% of centers monitored heparin activity for dose adjustment. Tirofiban was used in 64% of centers to treat thromboembolic complications. Fifteen percent of these comprehensive stroke centers reported using tenecteplase to treat acute ischemic strokes. Cangrelor appeared as an emergent drug in specific indications. CONCLUSION This nationwide survey highlights the important heterogeneity in clinical practices across centers. There is a pressing need for trials and guidelines to further evaluate and harmonize antithrombotic regimens in the neurointerventional field.

Abstract
Objective Aneurysmal subarachnoid hemorrhage (aSAH) has a high mortality rate, and hemorrhage amounts and perioperative rebleeding importantly determines prognosis. However, despite adequate treatment, prognosis is poor in many ruptured aneurysm cases. In this study, we identified and evaluated factors related to perioperative rebleeding in patients with aSAH. Methods The medical and surgical records of 166 patients that underwent endovascular embolization for a ruptured cerebral aneurysm at a single institution from 2014 to 2016 were retrospectively analyzed to identify risk factors of rebleeding. All patients were examined for risk factors and evaluated for increased hemorrhage by brain computed tomography at 3 days after surgery. Results This series included 54 men (32.5%) and 112 women (67.5%) of mean age 58.3±14.3 years. After procedures, 26 patients (15.7%) experienced rebleeding, and 1 of these (0.6%) experienced an intraoperative aneurysmal rupture. External ventricular drainage (EVD) (odds ratio [OR] 5.389, [95% confidence interval (CI) 1.171- 24.801]) and modified Fisher grade (OR 2.037, [95% CI 1.077-3.853]) were found to be independent risk factors of rebleeding, and perioperative rebleeding was strongly associated with patient outcomes (p<0.001). Conclusions We concluded the rebleeding risk after aSAH is greater in patients with large hemorrhage amounts and a high pre-operative modified Fisher grade, and thus, we caution neurosurgeons should take care in such cases.
