ICES (Intraoperative Stereotactic Computed Tomography-Guided Endoscopic Surgery) for Brain Hemorrhage: A Multicenter Randomized Controlled Trial.

ABSTRACT:

Background and purpose

Intracerebral hemorrhage (ICH) is a devastating disease without a proven therapy to improve long-term outcome. Considerable controversy about the role of surgery remains. Minimally invasive endoscopic surgery for ICH offers the potential of improved neurological outcome.

Methods

We tested the hypothesis that intraoperative computerized tomographic image-guided endoscopic surgery is safe and effectively removes the majority of the hematoma rapidly. A prospective randomized controlled study was performed on 20 subjects (14 surgical and 4 medical) with primary ICH of >20 mL volume within 48 hours of ICH onset. We prospectively used a contemporaneous medical control cohort (n=36) from the MISTIE trial (Minimally Invasive Surgery and r-tPA for ICH Evacuation). We evaluated surgical safety and neurological outcomes at 6 months and 1 year.

Results

The intraoperative computerized tomographic image-guided endoscopic surgery procedure resulted in immediate reduction of hemorrhagic volume by 68±21.6% (interquartile range 59-84.5) within 29 hours of hemorrhage onset. Surgery was successfully completed in all cases, with a mean operative time of 1.9 hours (interquartile range 1.5-2.2 hours). One surgically related bleed occurred peri-operatively, but no patient met surgical safety stopping threshold end points for intraoperative hemorrhage, infection, or death. The surgical intervention group had a greater percentage of patients with good neurological outcome (modified Rankin scale score 0-3) at 180 and 365 days as compared with medical control subjects (42.9% versus 23.7%; P=0.19).

Conclusions

Early computerized tomographic image-guided endoscopic surgery is a safe and effective method to remove acute intracerebral hematomas, with a potential to enhance neurological recovery.

Project description:PurposeWe report a case of old submacular hemorrhage (SMH) due to polypoidal choroidal vasculopathy (PCV). Subretinal endoscopic surgery (SES) was performed, which improved visual function. In addition, we show the intraoperative findings of subretinal aberrant PCV vessels as seen under endoscopic observation, which cannot be observed by microscopic surgery.ObservationsA 71-year-old Japanese man presented with an old dehemoglobinized SMH due to PCV in his left eye. At the time of presentation, three weeks had already passed after the onset of the patient's symptoms, and the best-corrected visual acuity (BCVA) was 20/200. SES was performed to remove the SMH and treat the subretinal PCV lesions. After creating retinal detachment using a 38-gauge cannula, three subretinal 25-gauge trocars were inserted from the sclera to the subretinal space. Then, SES was performed under ophthalmic endoscopic observation with continued subretinal irrigation for maintaining the retinal detachment. After removal of the SMH, subretinal polyp-shaped nodular vascular lesions (polyps) and a branching vascular network, which is located inside the retinal pigmented epithelium, were identified. The sites that presumably originated from the aberrant vessels of the PCV and the associated polyps were coagulated using endodiathermy. After the subretinal procedure, the retina was flattened with fluid/air exchange, and silicone oil (SO) was injected into the vitreous cavity. The SMH completely disappeared after surgery. Although at one-month follow-up BCVA (20/250) was slightly worse than that before surgery, there was an improvement in postoperative retinal sensitivity in the macula compared to that before surgery. At the three-month follow-up, the SO was removed. The BCVA was 20/200 one month after SO removal. No postoperative complications occurred. Additional treatment was not required, including anti-vascular endothelial growth factor therapy, for PCV progression or SMH recurrence in the left eye till the final visit two years after surgery.Conclusion and importanceSES could effectively remove the old SMH, and the activity of PCV was suppressed by intraoperative subretinal coagulation. The retinal sensitivity of the macula improved after the SES. In addition, we observed subretinal polyps and a branching vascular network located internal to the retinal pigmented epithelium under intraoperative subretinal endoscopic observation. SES is a good surgical option for the removal of old SMH or treatment of subretinal lesions.

Project description:BackgroundSeveral methods can be used to intraoperatively identify pulmonary lesion using radiation technology. However, little is known about patient radiation exposure during chest surgery. We aimed to measure patients' radiation exposure from cone-beam computed tomography (CBCT) used in a hybrid operating room.MethodsThis retrospective study included patients who underwent surgical treatment in a hybrid operating room between April 2019 and December 2023 at the Teikyo University Hospital. All data was obtained prospectively, but the study was approved by the IRB as a retrospective study because of repeated extensions of study period in order to collect more cases. Skin radiation exposure was measured using five wearable dosimeters per patient. The measurements were compared to cumulative Air Kerma. Furthermore, the radiation exposure dose on the surgical side, which cannot be measured, was estimated by computer simulation.ResultsAmong 182 patients who underwent surgery in a hybrid operating room, radiation exposure measurements were conducted on 67 patients. The patients' mean age was 60.7 years. The average number of CBCT scans was 2.1 (1-5) and the intraoperative identification rate was 100%, with no marking-related complications. Average patient's skin radiation dose was 3.69 ± 5.48 mGy per dosimeter, and cumulative Air Kerma was 25.4 ± 19.3 mGy. The highest radiation exposure was recorded in the 5th intercostal space whereas the lowest was measured in the supraclavicular or 11th intercostal spaces. Referring to phantom and computer simulation data, the 5th and 8th intercostal spaces were significantly more exposed to radiation at not only measurement side but also the surgical field, particularly when the number of CT scans was four.ConclusionWe found that the patient's 5th to 8th intercostal space was the most radiation exposed area by intraoperative CBCT imaging because the CBCT movement was restricted by the patient's arm, anesthesia machine, and operating table during chest surgery. In future, it is strongly required to research for radiation protection in this area. Furthermore, performing no more than three scans intraoperatively may be preferable in order to protect patients from radiation exposure during CBCT guided thoracic surgery.

Project description:ImportanceMagnetic resonance imaging (MRI) guidance offers multiple theoretical advantages in the context of stereotactic body radiotherapy (SBRT) for prostate cancer. However, to our knowledge, these advantages have yet to be demonstrated in a randomized clinical trial.ObjectiveTo determine whether aggressive margin reduction with MRI guidance significantly reduces acute grade 2 or greater genitourinary (GU) toxic effects after prostate SBRT compared with computed tomography (CT) guidance.Design, setting, and participantsThis phase 3 randomized clinical trial (MRI-Guided Stereotactic Body Radiotherapy for Prostate Cancer [MIRAGE]) enrolled men aged 18 years or older who were receiving SBRT for clinically localized prostate adenocarcinoma at a single center between May 5, 2020, and October 1, 2021. Data were analyzed from January 15, 2021, through May 15, 2022. All patients had 3 months or more of follow-up.InterventionsPatients were randomized 1:1 to SBRT with CT guidance (control arm) or MRI guidance. Planning margins of 4 mm (CT arm) and 2 mm (MRI arm) were used to deliver 40 Gy in 5 fractions.Main outcomes and measuresThe primary end point was the incidence of acute (≤90 days after SBRT) grade 2 or greater GU toxic effects (using Common Terminology Criteria for Adverse Events, version 4.03 [CTCAE v4.03]). Secondary outcomes included CTCAE v4.03-based gastrointestinal toxic effects and International Prostate Symptom Score (IPSS)-based and Expanded Prostate Cancer Index Composite-26 (EPIC-26)-based outcomes.ResultsBetween May 2020 and October 2021, 156 patients were randomized: 77 to CT (median age, 71 years [IQR, 67-77 years]) and 79 to MRI (median age, 71 years [IQR, 68-75 years]). A prespecified interim futility analysis conducted after 100 patients reached 90 or more days after SBRT was performed October 1, 2021, with the sample size reestimated to 154 patients. Thus, the trial was closed to accrual early. The incidence of acute grade 2 or greater GU toxic effects was significantly lower with MRI vs CT guidance (24.4% [95% CI, 15.4%-35.4%] vs 43.4% [95% CI, 32.1%-55.3%]; P = .01), as was the incidence of acute grade 2 or greater gastrointestinal toxic effects (0.0% [95% CI, 0.0%-4.6%] vs 10.5% [95% CI, 4.7%-19.7%]; P = .003). Magnetic resonance imaging guidance was associated with a significantly smaller percentage of patients with a 15-point or greater increase in IPSS at 1 month (6.8% [5 of 72] vs 19.4% [14 of 74]; P = .01) and a significantly reduced percentage of patients with a clinically significant (≥12-point) decrease in EPIC-26 bowel scores (25.0% [17 of 68] vs 50.0% [34 of 68]; P = .001) at 1 month.Conclusions and relevanceIn this randomized clinical trial, compared with CT-guidance, MRI-guided SBRT significantly reduced both moderate acute physician-scored toxic effects and decrements in patient-reported quality of life. Longer-term follow-up will confirm whether these notable benefits persist.Trial registrationClinicalTrials.gov Identifier: NCT04384770.
