Impact of Very Small Aneurysm Size and Anterior Communicating Segment Location on Outcome after Aneurysmal Subarachnoid Hemorrhage. Neurosurgery 2023; 92:370-381. [PMID: 36469672 DOI: 10.1227/neu.0000000000002212] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 12/21/2021] [Accepted: 08/31/2022] [Indexed: 12/11/2022] Open
Abstract
BACKGROUND Very small anterior communicating artery aneurysms (vsACoA) of <5 mm in size are detected in a considerable number of patients with aneurysmal subarachnoid hemorrhage (aSAH). Single-center studies report that vsACoA harbor particular risks when treated. OBJECTIVE To assess the clinical and radiological outcome(s) of patients with aSAH diagnosed with vsACoA after aneurysm treatment and at discharge. METHODS Information on n = 1868 patients was collected in the Swiss Subarachnoid Hemorrhage Outcome Study registry between 2009 and 2014. The presence of a new focal neurological deficit at discharge, functional status (modified Rankin scale), mortality rates, and procedural complications (in-hospital rebleeding and presence of a new stroke on computed tomography) was assessed for vsACoA and compared with the results observed for aneurysms in other locations and with diameters of 5 to 25 mm. RESULTS This study analyzed n = 1258 patients with aSAH, n = 439 of which had a documented ruptured ACoA. ACoA location was found in 38% (n = 144/384) of all very small ruptured aneurysms. A higher in-hospital bleeding rate was found in vsACoA compared with non-ACoA locations (2.8 vs 2.1%), especially when endovascularly treated (2.1% vs 0.5%). In multivariate analysis, aneurysm size of 5 to 25 mm, and not ACoA location, was an independent risk factor for a new focal neurological deficit and a higher modified Rankin scale at discharge. Neither very small aneurysm size nor ACoA location was associated with higher mortality rates at discharge or the occurrence of a peri-interventional stroke. CONCLUSION Very small ruptured ACoA have a higher in-hospital rebleeding rate but are not associated with worse morbidity or mortality.

Pre-Operative Predictors for Post-Operative Pneumonia in Aneurysmal Subarachnoid Hemorrhage After Surgical Clipping and Endovascular Coiling: A Single-Center Retrospective Study. Front Neurol 2022; 13:893516. [PMID: 35812098 PMCID: PMC9263125 DOI: 10.3389/fneur.2022.893516] [Citation(s) in RCA: 7] [Impact Index Per Article: 3.5] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 03/10/2022] [Accepted: 05/30/2022] [Indexed: 11/13/2022] Open
Abstract
Objective Postoperative pneumonia (POP) is one of the major complications after aneurysmal subarachnoid hemorrhage (aSAH) associated with postoperative mortality, prolonged hospitalization, and increased medical cost. Early recognition of pneumonia and more aggressive management may improve patient outcomes. Methods We retrospectively reviewed all patients with aSAH who were admitted to our institution between January 2015 and December 2020. Baseline clinical characteristics, imaging data, and inflammatory biomarkers were reviewed. The risk factors derived from multivariate logistic regression of surgical clipping (SC) and endovascular coiling (EC) were analyzed. The area under the receiver operating characteristic (ROC) curve (AUC) was used to calculate each independent predictor's prediction ability. Results A total of 843 patients were enrolled. Compared with patients in the EC group, the incidence of POP was higher in the SC group [143/414 (34.54%) vs. 114/429 (26.57%), p = 0.015]. In the EC group, multivariate analysis revealed that age [p = 0.001; odds ratio (OR) = 1.04, 95% CI = 1.02–1.07], posterior circulation aneurysms (p = 0.021; OR = 2.07, 95% CI = 1.14–3.83), higher neutrophil (NEUT; p < 0.001; OR = 1.13, 95% CI = 1.06–1.21), World Federation of Neurosurgical Societies (WFNS) grade 4 or 5 (p < 0.001; OR = 4.84, 95% CI = 2.67–8.79), modified Fisher Scale (mFS) grade 3 or 4 (p = 0.022; OR = 2.60, 95% CI = 1.15–5.89), and acute hydrocephalus (p = 0.048; OR = 1.74, 95% CI = 1.01–3.00) were independent risk factors for POP. In the SC group, multivariate analysis revealed that age (p = 0.015; OR = 1.03, 95% CI = 1.01–1.05), WFNS grade 4 or 5 (p = 0.037; OR = 1.76, 95% CI = 1.03–3.00), heart disease (p < 0.001; OR = 5.02, 95% CI = 2.03–12.45), higher white blood cell (WBC; p < 0.001; OR = 1.13, 95% CI = 1.07–1.20), and mFS grade 3 or 4 (p = 0.019; OR = 2.34, 95% CI = 1.15–4.77) were independent risk factors for POP. Conclusion Patients treated with SC are more likely to develop POP. Comprehensive preoperative evaluation of patients may help physicians to better predict POP and implement preventive measures to improve outcomes.

Early permanent cerebrospinal fluid diversion in aneurysmal subarachnoid hemorrhage: does a lower rate of nosocomial meningitis outweigh the risk of delayed cerebral vasospasm related morbidity? Neurol Res 2020; 43:40-53. [PMID: 33106124 DOI: 10.1080/01616412.2020.1819091] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Indexed: 10/23/2022]
Abstract
Objective: Early permanent cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) diversion for hydrocephalus during the first 2 weeks after aneurysmal subarachnoid hemorrhage (aSAH) shortens the duration of external ventricular drainage (EVD) and reduces EVD-associated infections (EVDAI). The objective of this study was to detect any association with symptomatic delayed cerebral vasospasm (DCVS), or delayed cerebral ischemia (DCI) by the time of hospital discharge. Methods: We used a single-center dataset of aSAH patients who had received a permanent CSF diversion. We compared an 'early group' in which the procedure was performed up to 14 days after the ictus, to a 'late group' in which it was performed from the 15th day onward. Results: Among 274 consecutive aSAH patients, 39 (14%) had a permanent CSF diversion procedure with a silver-coated EVD. While the blood clot burden was similarly distributed, patients with early permanent CSF diversion (20 out of 39; 51%) had higher levels of consciousness on admission. Early permanent CSF diversion was associated with less colonized catheter, a shorter duration of extracorporeal CSF diversion (OR 0.73, 95%CI 0.58-0.92 per EVD day), and a lower rate of EVDAI (OR 0.08, 95%CI 0.01-0.80). The occurrence of CSF diversion device obstruction, the rate of symptomatic DCVS or detected DCI on computed tomography and the likelihood of a poor outcome at discharge did not differ between the two groups. Discussion: Early permanent CSF diversion lowers the occurrence of catheter colonization and infectious complication without affecting DCVS-related morbidity in good-grade aSAH patients. These findings need confirmation in larger prospective multicenter cohorts.
