Analysis of intra-aneurysmal flow for cerebral aneurysms with cerebral angiography.

ABSTRACT:

Background and purpose

Hemodynamics is an important factor in the development and rupture of cerebral aneurysms. Current techniques for measuring blood flow in cerebral aneurysms suffer from various limitations and have not been able to address our clinical needs. A new technique has been developed for effective evaluation of intra-aneurysmal flow based on high-frame-rate cerebral angiography, especially for flow-diverters.

Materials and methods

Six patients with 7 unruptured ICA aneurysms were imaged with a specially designed DSA protocol (a 3D DSA and a 2D DSA acquired at 30 frames/s, with a 2-mL/s contrast injection rate). Images of these cases were analyzed to determine the intra-aneurysmal flow based on the newly developed technique. Patient-specific aneurysm models were used for CFD calculation, and intra-aneurysmal flow rates were computed numerically. The intra-aneurysmal flow rates from the 2 methods were then compared.

Results

There is a linear relationship between intra-aneurysmal flow ratios obtained from high-frame-rate cerebral angiography and CFD calculation (R = 0.99). A high frame rate (30 frames/s) provides a better estimate of intra-aneurysmal flow than low frame rates (7.5 frames/s and 15 frames/s).

Conclusions

The CFD calculation validates the estimate of intra-aneurysmal hemodynamics from cerebral angiography. The linear relationship obtained by using these 2 techniques can be used for real-time assessment of intra-aneurysmal hemodynamics for cerebral aneurysms.

Diagnosing flow residuals in coiled cerebral aneurysms by MR angiography: meta-analysis.

Project description:This meta-analysis summarizes the accuracy of magnetic resonance angiography (MRA) for diagnosing residuals in coiled cerebral aneurysms by using the threefold Roy classification (residuals: none, neck, or sac). Four databases were searched from 2000 to June 2013 for eligible studies that compared MRA to digital subtraction angiography (DSA) and reported 3 × 3 count data of threefold Roy classification, or a reduced scheme of 2 × 2 count data. Bivariate and trivariate Bayesian random-effects models were used for meta-analysis. Among 27 included studies (2,119 coiled aneurysms in 1,809 patients) the average prevalence of DSA-confirmed sac residuals was 18.2 % (range 0-43 %). The pooled sensitivity was 88.0 % (95 % CI 81.4-94.0) and specificity was 97.2 % (94.6-99.0 %) for assessing sac residuals by MRA. In the trivariate meta-analysis, a "sac residual" finding at MRA had a high positive likelihood ratio of 28.2 (14.0-79.0). A "neck residual" finding had a moderate negative likelihood ratio of 0.246 (0.111-0.426), and the MRA finding of "no residual" had a good negative likelihood ratio of 0.044 (0.013-0.096). Subgroup analyses identified no significant influence of covariates on diagnostic accuracy (P > 0.05). In conclusion, in coiled cerebral aneurysms MRA with application of the threefold Roy classification is well suited for detecting or excluding sac residuals that might require retreatment.

Additional Value of Intra-Aneurysmal Hemodynamics in Discriminating Ruptured versus Unruptured Intracranial Aneurysms.

Project description:Background and purposeHemodynamics are thought to play an important role in the rupture of intracranial aneurysms. We tested whether hemodynamics, determined from computational fluid dynamics models, have additional value in discriminating ruptured and unruptured aneurysms. Such discriminative power could provide better prediction models for rupture.Materials and methodsA cross-sectional study was performed on patients eligible for endovascular treatment, including 55 ruptured and 62 unruptured aneurysms. Association with rupture status was tested for location, aneurysm type, and 4 geometric and 10 hemodynamic parameters. Patient-specific spatiotemporal velocities measured with phase-contrast MR imaging were used as inflow conditions for computational fluid dynamics. To assess the additional value of hemodynamic parameters, we performed 1 univariate and 2 multivariate analyses: 1 traditional model including only location and geometry and 1 advanced model that included patient-specific hemodynamic parameters.ResultsIn the univariate analysis, high-risk locations (anterior cerebral arteries, posterior communicating artery, and posterior circulation), daughter sacs, unstable inflow jets, impingements at the aneurysm body, and unstable complex flow patterns were significantly present more often in ruptured aneurysms. In both multivariate analyses, only the high-risk location (OR, 3.92; 95% CI, 1.77-8.68) and the presence of daughter sacs (OR, 2.79; 95% CI, 1.25-6.25) remained as significant independent determinants.ConclusionsIn this study population of patients eligible for endovascular treatment, we found no independent additional value of aneurysmal hemodynamics in discriminating rupture status, despite high univariate associations. Only traditional parameters (high-risk location and the presence of daughter sacs) were independently associated with ruptured aneurysms.

Analysis of Flow Dynamics and Outcomes of Cerebral Aneurysms Treated with Intrasaccular Flow-Diverting Devices.

Project description:BACKGROUND AND PURPOSE:Intrasaccular flow diversion offers a promising treatment option for complex bifurcation aneurysms. The purpose of this study was to compare the flow conditions between successfully occluded and incompletely occluded aneurysms treated with intrasaccular devices. MATERIALS AND METHODS:The hemodynamics in 18 completely occluded aneurysms after treatment with intrasaccular devices was compared against 18 that were incompletely occluded at follow-up. Hemodynamic and geometric parameters were obtained from computational fluid dynamics models constructed from 3D angiographies. Models of the intrasaccular devices were created and interactively deployed within the vascular models using posttreatment angiography images for guidance. Hemodynamic and geometric variables were compared using the Mann-Whitney test and univariate logistic regression analysis. RESULTS:Incomplete occlusion was associated with large posttreatment mean aneurysm inflows (P = .02) and small reductions in the mean inflow rate (P = .01) and inflow concentration index (P = .03). Incompletely occluded aneurysms were larger (P = .002) and had wider necks (P = .004) than completely occluded aneurysms and tended to have more complex flow patterns, though this trend was not significant after adjusting for multiple testing. CONCLUSIONS:The outcome of cerebral aneurysm treatment with intrasaccular flow diverters is associated with flow conditions created immediately after device implantation. Flow conditions unfavorable for immediate and complete occlusion seem to be created by improper positioning or orientation of the device. Complete occlusion is more difficult to achieve in larger aneurysms, aneurysms with wider necks, and aneurysms with stronger and more complex flows.

Cerebral aneurysms treated with flow-diverting stents: computational models with intravascular blood flow measurements.

Project description:BACKGROUND AND PURPOSE:Computational fluid dynamics modeling is useful in the study of the hemodynamic environment of cerebral aneurysms, but patient-specific measurements of boundary conditions, such as blood flow velocity and pressure, have not been previously applied to the study of flow-diverting stents. We integrated patient-specific intravascular blood flow velocity and pressure measurements into computational models of aneurysms before and after treatment with flow-diverting stents to determine stent effects on aneurysm hemodynamics. MATERIALS AND METHODS:Blood flow velocity and pressure were measured in peri-aneurysmal locations by use of an intravascular dual-sensor pressure and Doppler velocity guidewire before and after flow-diverting stent treatment of 4 unruptured cerebral aneurysms. These measurements defined inflow and outflow boundary conditions for computational models. Intra-aneurysmal flow rates, wall shear stress, and wall shear stress gradient were calculated. RESULTS:Measurements of inflow velocity and outflow pressure were successful in all 4 patients. Computational models incorporating these measurements demonstrated significant reductions in intra-aneurysmal wall shear stress and wall shear stress gradient and a trend in reduced intra-aneurysmal blood flow. CONCLUSIONS:Integration of intravascular dual-sensor guidewire measurements of blood flow velocity and blood pressure provided patient-specific computational models of cerebral aneurysms. Aneurysm treatment with flow-diverting stents reduces blood flow and hemodynamic shear stress in the aneurysm dome.

Risk Factors for the Rupture of Middle Cerebral Artery Bifurcation Aneurysms Using CT Angiography.

Project description:Background and purposeTo investigate the clinical and morphological characteristics associated with risk factors for the rupture of bifurcation-type middle cerebral artery aneurysms (MCAAs).MethodsA total of 169 consecutive patients with 177 bifurcation-type MCAAs were reviewed from August 2011 to January 2016. Based on the clinical and morphologic characteristics findings, the risk factors of aneurysm rupture were assessed using statistical methods.ResultsAge, cerebral atherosclerosis, no hypertension, hypertension grade 2 and coronary artery disease (CAD) were negatively correlated with aneurysm rupture. The mean diameter (MD) of the parent and two daughter arteries was negatively correlated with rupture. Aneurysms with irregularity, depth, width, maximum size, aspect ratio, depth-to-width ratio, bottleneck factor, and size ratio were positively correlated with rupture. The multivariate logistic regression model revealed that irregular shape (odds ratio (OR) 2.697) and aspect ratio (OR 3.723) were significantly and positively correlated with rupture, while cerebral atherosclerosis (OR 0.033), CAD (OR 0.080), and MD (OR 0.201) were negatively correlated with rupture. Receiver operating characteristic analysis revealed that the threshold value of the aspect ratio and MD were 0.96 and 2.43 mm, respectively.ConclusionsCerebral atherosclerosis and CAD are protective factors against rupture. Morphological characteristics such as an aneurysm with an irregular shape, a high aspect ratio (>0.96) and a small MD (<2.43 mm) are likely better predictors of rupture.

Quantitative hemodynamic analysis of cerebral blood flow and neurovascular coupling using optical coherence tomography angiography.

Project description:Functional hyperemia in the rat cortex was investigated using high-speed optical coherence tomography (OCT) angiography and Doppler OCT. OCT angiography (OCTA) was performed to image the hemodynamic stimulus-response over a wide field of view. Temporal changes in vessel diameters in different vessel compartments, which were determined as the diameters of erythrocyte flows in OCT angiograms, were measured in order to monitor localized hemodynamic changes. Our results showed that the dilation of arterioles at the site of activation was accompanied by the dilation of upstream arteries. Relatively negligible dilation was observed in veins. An increase in the OCTA signal was observed during stimulus in multiple capillaries, which may imply that capillary blood flow increases as a result of the expanded arterial blood volume. These results agree with previous observations using two-photon laser scanning microscopy (TPLSM). Doppler OCT was performed to quantitatively measure stimulus-induced blood flow response in pial arteries. The measurement showed small but clear hemodynamic response in upstream arteries with diameters exceeding 100??m. Our results demonstrate the potential of OCTA and Doppler OCT for the investigation of neurovascular coupling in small animal models.

Patient-Specific Blood Flow Analysis for Cerebral Arteriovenous Malformation Based on Digital Subtraction Angiography Images.

Project description:Real-time digital subtraction angiography (DSA) is capable of revealing the cerebral vascular morphology and blood flow perfusion patterns of arterial venous malformations (AVMs). In this study, we analyze the DSA images of a subject-specific left posterior AVM case and customize a generic electric analog model for cerebral circulation accordingly. The generic model consists of electronic components representing 49 major cerebral arteries and veins, and yields their blood pressure and flow rate profiles. The model was adapted by incorporating the supplying and draining patterns of the AVM to simulate some typical AVM features such as the blood "steal" syndrome, where the flow rate in the left posterior artery increases by almost three times (∼300 ml/min vs 100 ml/min) compared with the healthy case. Meanwhile, the flow rate to the right posterior artery is reduced to ∼30 ml/min from 100 ml/min despite the presence of an autoregulation mechanism in the model. In addition, the blood pressure in the draining veins is increased from 9 to 22 mmHg, and the blood pressure in the feeding arteries is reduced from 85 to 30 mmHg due to the fistula effects of the AVM. In summary, a first DSA-based AVM model has been developed. More subject-specific AVM cases are required to apply the presented in silico model, and in vivo data are used to validate the simulation results.

Alteration of intra-aneurysmal hemodynamics for flow diversion using enterprise and vision stents.

Project description:Flow diversion is a novel concept for intracranial aneurysm treatment. The recently developed Enterprise Vascular Reconstruction Device (Codman Neurovascular, Raynham MA) provides easy delivery and repositioning. Although designed specifically for restraining coils within an aneurysm, this stent has theoretical effects on modifying flow dynamics, which have not been studied. The goal of this study was to quantify the effect of single and multiple self-expanding Enterprise stents alone or in combination with balloon-mounted stents on aneurysm hemodynamics using computational fluid dynamics (CFD).The geometry of a wide-necked, saccular, basilar trunk aneurysm was reconstructed from computed tomographic angiography images. Various combinations of 1-3 stents were "virtually" conformed to fit into the vessel lumen and placed across the aneurysm orifice. CFD analysis was performed to calculate hemodynamic parameters considered important in aneurysm pathogenesis and thrombosis for each model.The complex aneurysmal flow pattern was suppressed by stenting. Stent placement lowered average flow velocity in the aneurysm; further reduction was achieved by additional stent deployment. Aneurysmal flow turnover time, an indicator of stasis, was increased to 114-117% for single-stent, 127-128% for double-stent, and 141% for triple-stent deployment. Furthermore, aneurysmal wall shear stress (WSS) decreased with increasing number of deployed stents.This is the first study analyzing flow modifications associated with placement of Enterprise stents for aneurysm occlusion. Placement of 2-3 stents significantly reduced intra-aneurysmal hemodynamic activities, thereby increasing the likelihood of inducing aneurysm thrombotic occlusion.

Intra-aneurysmal thrombosis as a possible cause of delayed aneurysm rupture after flow-diversion treatment.

Project description:Background and purposeFD technology enables reconstructive repair of otherwise difficult-to-treat intracranial aneurysms. These stentlike devices may induce progressive aneurysm thrombosis without additional implants and may initiate complete reverse vessel remodeling. The associated vascular biologic processes are as yet only partially understood.Materials and methodsFrom 12 different centers, 13 cases of delayed postprocedural aneurysm rupture were recorded and analyzed. Symptom, aneurysm location and morphology, and the time elapsed from treatment until rupture were analyzed.ResultsThere were 10 internal carotid and 3 basilar artery aneurysms. Mean aneurysm diameter was 22 ± 6 mm. Eleven patients were symptomatic before treatment. A single FD was used for all saccular aneurysms, while fusiform lesions were treated by using multiple devices. A supplementary loose coiling of the aneurysm was performed in 1 patient only. Ten patients developed early aneurysm rupture after FD treatment (mean, 16 days; range, 2-48 days); in 3 patients, rupture occurred 3-5 months after treatment. In all cases, most of the aneurysm cavity was thrombosed before rupture. The biologic mechanisms predisposing to rupture under these conditions are reviewed and discussedConclusionsFDs alone may modify hemodynamics in ways that induce extensive aneurysm thrombosis. Under specific conditions, however, instead of reverse remodeling and cicatrization, aggressive thrombus-associated autolysis of the aneurysm wall may result in delayed rupture.

Angiographic assessment of the efficacy of flow diverter treatment for cerebral aneurysms.

Project description:BACKGROUND:The recent growth of neuro-endovascular treatment has rekindled interest in the use of angiographic techniques for flow assessment. Aneurysm treatment with flow diverters is particularly amenable to such analysis. We analyze contrast time-density curves?-?recorded within aneurysms before (pre) and immediately after (post) flow diverter implantation to estimate six-month treatment outcomes. METHODS:Fifty-six patients with 65 aneurysms were treated with flow diverters at two institutions. A region of interest was drawn around the aneurysm perimeter in image sequences taken both pre and post angiography, and the temporal variation in grayscale intensity within the aneurysm (time-density curve) was recorded. Eleven parameters were quantified from each time-density curve. Aneurysm occlusion status was recorded six months post treatment. The change in parameters from pre to post treatment was statistically evaluated between aneurysm occluded and non-occluded groups. RESULTS:Of the 11 parameters, eight were significantly different before and immediately after flow diversion. Considering the entire data set, none of the parameters was statistically different between the occluded and non-occluded groups. However, subgroup analyses showed that four variables were significantly different between the aneurysm occluded and non-occluded groups. The sensitivity of these variables to predict aneurysm occlusion at six months ranged from 60% to 89%, while the specificity ranged from 55% to 70%. CONCLUSIONS:Device-induced intra-aneurysmal flow alterations quantified by simple aneurysmal time-density curves can potentially be used to predict long-term outcomes of flow diversion. Large multi-center studies will be required to confirm these findings. Patient-to-patient variability in coagulation may need to be incorporated for clinically relevant predictive values.
