Occipital artery to extracranial vertebral artery anastomosis for bilateral vertebral artery stenosis at the origin: A case report.

ABSTRACT: Background:Revascularization of posterior circulation is essential in patients with severe bilateral vertebral artery (VA) stenosis despite administering maximal medical treatment, due to the high mortality of posterior circulation stroke. Case Description:We present a 69-year-old man with bilateral severe VA stenosis at the origins, treated with occipital artery (OA)-distal VA anastomosis. Conclusion:Endovascular treatment and other surgical treatments, such as bypass grafting, are effective, but OA-VA anastomosis is a safe and effective procedure for revascularization of the posterior circulation.

Simultaneous intracranial and extracranial vertebral artery dissections: a case report.

Project description:Vertebral artery dissection can occur in intracranial or extracranial vertebral arteries. However, the simultaneous dissection of both intracranial and extracranial vertebral arteries is extremely rare. We describe a 45-year-old man with simultaneous intracranial and extracranial vertebral artery dissections in separate sites. The patient visited a neurosurgical clinic because of headache; he was diagnosed with right vertebral artery dissection and referred to our hospital. Magnetic resonance imaging showed an intramural hematoma and mild dilation of the external lumen in the right vertebral artery distal to the posterior inferior cerebellar artery. Magnetic resonance angiography revealed poor delineation of the entire right vertebral artery, including the proximal portion from the posterior inferior cerebellar artery. Computed tomography angiography revealed right extracranial vertebral artery dissection. Careful imaging assessment is thus important for identifying simultaneous intracranial and extracranial vertebral artery dissections.

Safety and Efficacy of Rapamycin-Eluting Vertebral Stents in Patients With Symptomatic Extracranial Vertebral Artery Stenosis.

Project description:Background and Purpose: Drug-eluting stents generally have superior performance to bare metal stents in the treatment of vertebral artery stenosis (VAS). This prospective, multicenter, and single-arm clinical trial was initiated to assess in-stent restenosis (ISR) and midterm outcome after rapamycin-eluting stent placement in patients with symptomatic extracranial VAS. Methods: The subjects underwent angiographic follow-up at 6 months and final clinical follow-up at 12 months. The primary efficacy endpoint was ISR at 6 months. Secondary endpoints included technical success, target lesion-related transient ischemic attack (TIA), stroke, or death, and all-cause TIA, stroke, or death during the 12-month follow-up period. Results: A total of 104 stents were implanted in the 101 patients and 83 patients (82.2%) completed angiographic follow-up at 6 months. The technical success rate was 86.1% (87/101); mean in-stent stenosis rate was 25.1 ± 17.1% and ISR rate was 5.9% (95% CI: 0.8-10.9%). All the patients with ISR were completely asymptomatic and no stent fractures were observed during angiographic follow-up. At the 12-month clinical follow-up, target lesion-related TIA, stroke, or death had occurred in two (2.0%) patients and all-cause TIA, stroke, or death had occurred in six (6.1%) patients. Conclusion: The placement of rapamycin-eluting stents in patients with symptomatic extracranial VAS yields favorable ISR results and showed a trend of favorable safety outcomes including low rates of perioperative complications and late stroke. However, further study is needed to establish the long-term clinical benefits of this stent in the treatment of VA disease.

Extracranial vertebral artery to middle cerebral artery bypass in therapeutic internal carotid artery occlusion for epipharyngeal carcinoma: A technical case report.

Project description:BackgroundVertebral artery (VA) to middle cerebral artery (MCA) bypass is a rarely selected technique because a complex expanded dissection is required, and often, a better donor artery than VA exists. A good indication for VA-MCA bypass is the treatment of head-and-neck malignancies with the sacrifice of the internal carotid artery (ICA) or for carotid artery rupture.MethodsA 23-year-old man with epipharyngeal carcinoma, treated by ligating the carotid artery with a VAMCA bypass before chemoradiotherapy, was reported. Radiographic findings showed that the bone of the carotid canal was dissolved, and the right ICA was engulfed by the tumor. As epipharyngeal carcinoma is hypersensitive to radiation, in cases where the tumor rapidly disappears, ICA may dangle in the pharynx and rupture may occur. In addition, to irradiate sufficiently, the ICA may become an obstacle. Hence, we decided to perform carotid ligation with a VA-MCA bypass before radiation and chemotherapy for the primary lesion. We selected the V3 portion of the VA as the donor on the ipsilateral side, as it can supply high-flow cerebral blood flow, which is not influenced by carcinoma and less influenced by irradiation for the epipharynx.ResultsThe VA-MCA bypass was completed without complications followed by endovascular occlusion of the ICA. Induction chemotherapy was initiated for the patient 2 weeks after surgery. The patient achieved a complete response following chemoradiotherapy.ConclusionICA ligation with VA-MCA high-flow bypass earlier than chemoradiotherapy is useful for epipharyngeal carcinoma as it prevents carotid artery rupture and allows radical intervention.

Internal carotid artery and bilateral vertebral arteries dissections associated with amphetamine abuse: Case report.

Project description:Arterial dissection is an important cause of stroke in young patients. Various factors influencing arterial dissection included amphetamine abuse and anterior circulation is the majority of stroke locations. We reported the Case of a 40-year-old male patient with chronic amphetamine used since childhood. He had increased the consumption from once a month to every other day in the last year. The patient suffered from acute left-side hemiparesis and neglect. Computed tomography angiography of the brain and neck vessels demonstrated non-atheromatous vasculopathy with a suspected dissection process of the right internal carotid artery and bilateral vertebral arteries. A review of recent data is also provided to clarify the possible mechanism.

Stenting for symptomatic vertebral artery stenosis: The Vertebral Artery Ischaemia Stenting Trial.

Project description:ObjectiveTo compare in the Vertebral Artery Ischaemia Stenting Trial (VIST) the risks and benefits of vertebral angioplasty and stenting with best medical treatment (BMT) alone for symptomatic vertebral artery stenosis.MethodsVIST was a prospective, randomized, open-blinded endpoint clinical trial performed in 14 hospitals in the United Kingdom. Participants with symptomatic vertebral stenosis ≥50% were randomly assigned (1:1) to vertebral angioplasty/stenting plus BMT or to BMT alone with randomization stratified by site of stenosis (extracranial vs intracranial). Because of slow recruitment and cessation of funding, recruitment was stopped after 182 participants. Follow-up was a minimum of ≥1 year for each participant.ResultsThree patients did not contribute any follow-up data and were excluded, leaving 91 patients in the stent group and 88 in the medical group. Mean follow-up was 3.5 (interquartile range 2.1-4.7) years. Of 61 patients who were stented, stenosis was extracranial in 48 (78.7%) and intracranial in 13 (21.3%). No periprocedural complications occurred with extracranial stenting; 2 strokes occurred during intracranial stenting. The primary endpoint of fatal or nonfatal stroke occurred in 5 patients in the stent group vs 12 in the medical group (hazard ratio 0.40, 95% confidence interval 0.14-1.13, p = 0.08), with an absolute risk reduction of 25 strokes per 1,000 person-years. The hazard ratio for stroke or TIA was 0.50 (p = 0.05).ConclusionsStenting in extracranial stenosis appears safe with low complication rates. Large phase 3 trials are required to determine whether stenting reduces stroke risk.Isrctncom identifierISRCTN95212240.Classification of evidenceThis study provides Class I evidence that for patients with symptomatic vertebral stenosis, angioplasty with stenting does not reduce the risk of stroke. However, the study lacked the precision to exclude a benefit from stenting.

Metabolomics study in severe extracranial carotid artery stenosis.

Project description:BackgroundSignificant genetic association has been found in patients with severe carotid artery stenosis (CAS). The present study wished to investigate if metabolites may also act as biomarkers for CAS.MethodsConsecutive patients with at least one carotid artery stenosis > = 60% on cerebral angiography were prospectively recruited from May 2007 to January 2016. Normal controls were recruited from outpatient clinic who had no stroke and coronary artery disease (CAD) history, and the brain magnetic resonance or computed tomographic angiography showed bilateral CAS < 30%. Risk factor profile, clinical characteristics, age, and clinical features were recorded. All subjects were male, and none had diabetes. 1H-NMR spectroscopy-based metabolomics analysis was carried out for plasma samples.ResultsTotally, 130 male subjects were recruited. Age had no significant difference between the controls and CAS group (60.2 ± 5.9 vs. 63.3 ± 6.0, p = 0.050). The CAS group had significantly higher frequency of CAD, hypertension, smoking and alcohol but lower body mass index than the controls (p < 0.05). The laboratory tests showed CAS group had significantly higher level of homocysteine but lower levels of cholesterol, high-density lipoprotein and hemoglobin than the controls (p < 0.05). The 1H-NMR based plasma metabolomics analysis indicated that choline was significantly lower in CAS patients. The VIP values of lipids were greater than 1.0, which were considered significantly different.ConclusionsOur results suggest homocysteine, choline and lipids in association with traditional risk factors may be involved in the pathogenesis of CAS. Diet adjustment to control homocysteine, choline and lipids may be helpful for the prevention of CAS.

Surgical removal using V3-radial artery graft-V4 bypass and occipital artery-posterior inferior cerebellar artery bypass for a giant thrombosed aneurysm of vertebral artery compressing brain stem: Case report.

Project description:BackgroundGiant thrombosed vertebral artery aneurysms (GTVAs) are difficult disease to treat. Here, we are reporting a case of GTVA successfully treated with excluding the pathological segment and restoring the anterograde blood flow of the parent artery, highlighting the reliable surgical procedure.Case descriptionA 55-year-old man with a left GTVA complained of right hemiparesis (manual muscle testing 4/5) represented by hand clumsiness and gait disturbance, in addition to severe left-sided dysesthesia, was referred to our hospital. The posterior inferior cerebellar artery (PICA) was incorporated into the GTVA segment, and the contralateral vertebral artery showed atherosclerotic change. Thus, we decided to treat the aneurysm with aneurysm trapping and thrombectomy, in conjunction with V3-radial artery graft (RAG)-V4 bypass and occipital artery (OA)-PICA bypass through a suboccipital transcondylar approach. The distal end of the dilated segment was meandering and deflecting outwardly to the vicinity of the internal auditory canal and was stretched in an axial direction. Thus, the V4 stump can be transposed to the triangle space made by the medulla, lower cranial nerves, and sigmoid sinus, and we could perform a safe and reliable anastomosis through the corridor. After the surgery, the compression of the brain stem was released, and right hemiparesis was improved completely after rehabilitation. The patient was discharged with a modified Rankin Scale score of 1.ConclusionTrapping of the aneurysm and thrombectomy are the most radical treatment for GTVA, and if possible, reconstruction of anterograde blood flow with V3-RAG-V4 bypass and OA-PICA bypass is desirable.

Identification of Metabolomics Biomarkers in Extracranial Carotid Artery Stenosis.

Project description:The biochemical identification of carotid artery stenosis (CAS) is still a challenge. Hence, 349 male subjects (176 normal controls and 173 stroke patients with extracranial CAS ≥ 50% diameter stenosis) were recruited. Blood samples were collected 14 days after stroke onset with no acute illness. Carotid plaque score (≥2, ≥5 and ≥8) was used to define CAS severity. Serum metabolites were analyzed using a targeted Absolute IDQ®p180 kit. Results showed hypertension, diabetes, smoking, and alcohol consumption were more common, but levels of diastolic blood pressure, HDL-C, LDL-C, and cholesterol were lower in CAS patients than controls (p < 0.05), suggesting intensive medical treatment for CAS. PCA and PLS-DA did not demonstrate clear separation between controls and CAS patients. Decision tree and random forest showed that acylcarnitine species (C4, C14:1, C18), amino acids and biogenic amines (SDMA), and glycerophospholipids (PC aa C36:6, PC ae C34:3) contributed to the prediction of CAS. Metabolite panel analysis showed high specificity (0.923 ± 0.081, 0.906 ± 0.086 and 0.881 ± 0.109) but low sensitivity (0.230 ± 0.166, 0.240 ± 0.176 and 0.271 ± 0.169) in the detection of CAS (≥2, ≥5 and ≥8, respectively). The present study suggests that metabolomics profiles could help in differentiating between controls and CAS patients and in monitoring the progression of CAS.
