Abstract
Objective: Stenting in ruptured middle cerebral artery (MCA) aneurysms was reported with a high perioperative complication rate. However, the treatment devices and physician's experience have continued to evolve. We performed this retrospective study to evaluate the safety and efficacy of LVIS stent-assisted coiling for ruptured MCA aneurysms. Methods: Patients with acutely ruptured MCA aneurysms treated between November 2014 and October 2019 were retrospectively reviewed. Clinical and angiographic data of those treated with LVIS stents were collected from a prospectively maintained database. Results: A total of 40 patients with 40 ruptured MCA aneurysms were enrolled, which comprised 26.3% (40/152) of all the ruptured MCA aneurysms at the same time. All stents were successfully deployed except for one (2.5%), which had a poor stent opening. Ischemic procedure-related complications were encountered in three patients (7.5%). One patient died of complications related to high-grade SAH on admission. Follow-up (mean 15.9 months) angiography was performed for 36 patients, which showed 33 (91.7%) aneurysms were completely occluded, 1 (2.8%) was improved, 1 (2.8%) was stable, and 1 (2.8%) was recanalized. Clinical follow-up (mean 29.6 months) was available for all survived patients, which showed 38 (95.0%) patients had favorable neurologic outcomes (mRS score 0–2), and 2 (5.0%) patients had poor neurologic outcomes. Conclusion: The use of LVIS stents is feasible, safe, and effective with glycoprotein IIb/IIIa inhibitor for the treatment of ruptured MCA aneurysms in the acute setting. Prospective, multicenter studies with larger sample sizes are still required to further evaluate the safety and long-term efficacy.

Outcome and Prognostic Factors of Ruptured Middle Cerebral Artery Aneurysms Treated via Endovascular Approach: A Single-Center 11-Year Experience. World Neurosurg 2019; 133:e187-e196. [PMID: 31493611 DOI: 10.1016/j.wneu.2019.08.189] [Citation(s) in RCA: 1] [Impact Index Per Article: 0.2] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 03/23/2019] [Revised: 08/23/2019] [Accepted: 08/24/2019] [Indexed: 11/29/2022]
Abstract
OBJECTIVE To investigate outcomes and prognostic factors of ruptured middle cerebral artery (MCA) aneurysms, treated via endovascular approach, with improving treatment materials and techniques. PATIENTS AND METHODS A total of 185 consecutive patients, admitted with acutely ruptured MCA aneurysms and treated by endovascular methods between 2006 and 2016, were retrospectively reviewed. Their baseline characteristics, procedure-related complications, and angiographic and clinical outcomes were collected. Univariate analysis and logistic regression analysis were completed to identify any association between procedure-related complications or clinical outcomes and potential risk factors. RESULTS Procedure-related complications occurred in 28 patients (15.1%), including aneurysm rebleeding in 7 (3.8%), hematoma expansion in 10 (5.4%), and ischemia in 13 (7.0%) (concurrent hemorrhage and ischemia in 2 patients), which resulted in morbidity/mortality of 7% and 1.4%. Final evaluations indicated that 153 patients (82.7%, 153/185) had a good outcome (modified Rankin Scale score 0-2). Among 120 (69.4%) who underwent angiographic follow-up, 89 (74.2%) were completely occluded and 20/120 (16.7%) were recanalized. Multivariate analysis of clinical outcome indicated that a high preoperative Hunt and Hess grade (IV-V), intrasylvian/intracerebral hematoma, and early period treatment (2006-2013) were associated with unfavorable outcomes. CONCLUSIONS Endovascular treatment for patients with ruptured middle cerebral artery aneurysms may offer favorable clinical and angiographic outcomes. With the evolution of treatment materials and updated techniques, treatment complications have become less common than previously reported in literature, and clinical outcomes have been improved in recent years.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE The use of endovascular treatment for ruptured middle cerebral artery (MCA) aneurysms, which have been more likely to be recommended for neurosurgical clipping because of the complex anatomic configuration, remains controversial. In the present study, the angiographic and clinical outcomes of endovascularly treated ruptured MCA aneurysms were systematically reviewed. METHODS Online databases, including Cochrane, Medline, Web of Science, and Embase, were retrospectively and systematically searched. The primary outcomes were the immediate complete occlusion rate, mortality, complication-related mortality, and procedure-related complication rate. Meta-analysis was performed using a random or fixed effect model based on heterogeneity. RESULTS A total of 14 studies with 1004 ruptured MCA aneurysms were included. The procedure-related mortality rate at discharge was 1.8% (95% confidence interval [CI], 0.9%-2.7%; I2 = 0.0%; P = 0.623). The favorable clinical outcome rate at discharge was 65.4% (95% CI, 54.8%-76.0%; I2 = 94.2%; P < 0.001) and had progressively increased to 73.2% (95% CI, 59.9%-86.5%; I2 = 80.9%; P < 0.001). The overall complication rate was 22.7% (95% CI, 15.1%-30.3%; I2 = 75.5%; P < 0.001). CONCLUSION Endovascular treatment of MCA aneurysms was related to a high incidence of procedure-related complications but a low rate of procedure-related mortality. The overall angiographic and clinical outcomes were comparable and warrant further investigation comparing clipping versus coiling for ruptured MCA aneurysms.

Abstract
Objective A direct comparison of endovascular versus microsurgical treatment of ruptured middle cerebral artery (MCA) aneurysms in randomized trials is lacking. As endovascular treatment strategies continue to evolve, the number of reports of endovascular treatment of these lesions is increasing. Herein, the authors report a detailed post hoc analysis of ruptured MCA aneurysms treated by microsurgical clipping from the Barrow Ruptured Aneurysm Trial (BRAT). Methods The cases of patients enrolled in the BRAT who underwent microsurgical clipping for a ruptured MCA aneurysm were reviewed. Characteristics of patients and their clinical outcomes and long-term angiographic results were analyzed. Results Fifty patients underwent microsurgical clipping of a ruptured MCA aneurysm in the BRAT, including 21 who crossed over from the endovascular treatment arm. Four patients with nonsaccular (e.g., dissecting, fusiform, or blister) aneurysms were excluded, leaving 46 patients for analysis. Most (n = 32; 70%) patients presented with a Hunt and Hess grade II or III subarachnoid hemorrhage, with a high prevalence of intraparenchymal blood (n = 23; 50%), intraventricular blood (n = 21; 46%), or both. At the last follow-up (up to 6 years after treatment), clinical outcomes were good (modified Rankin Scale score 0–2) in 70% (n = 19) of 27 Hunt and Hess grades I–III patients and in 36% (n = 4) of 11 Hunt and Hess grade IV or V patients. There were no instances of rebleeding after the surgical clipping of aneurysms in this series at the time of last clinical follow-up. Conclusions Microsurgical clipping of ruptured MCA aneurysms has several advantages over endovascular treatment, including durability over time. The authors report detailed outcome data of patients with ruptured MCA aneurysms who underwent microsurgical clipping as part of a prospective, randomized trial. These results should be used for comparison with future endovascular and surgical series to ensure that the best results are being achieved for patients with ruptured MCA aneurysms.

Abstract
Carotid plaque is a good surrogate endpoint for assessing arterial atherosclerosis, and atherosclerosis is a reliable predictor of cardiovascular diseases. However, the effect of body mass index on carotid plaque is unknown. Therefore, we aimed to explore the association between body mass index and carotid plaque in a low-income Chinese population. Residents aged ≥45 years and free of stroke and cardiovascular diseases were enrolled and divided into four groups based on body mass index. B-mode ultrasonography was performed to measure carotid plaque. The mean age of participants was 59.92 years overall. Significant correlations were observed between the presence of carotid plaque and male sex, older age, systolic blood pressure, fasting plasma glucose, and low-density lipoprotein cholesterol among the different BMI subgroups. Male sex increased the risk of carotid plaque in the overweight and obese groups. Older age and high level of low-density lipoprotein cholesterol were the independent risk factor for carotid plaque in four groups. Increased systolic blood pressure was an independent risk factor in the normal-weight, overweight, and obese groups; however, fasting plasma glucose was only significant in the normal-weight group. Thus, controlling the levels of low-density lipoprotein cholesterol, systolic blood pressure, and fasting plasma glucose is required to reduce carotid plaque risk.
