Hemodynamics of 8 different configurations of stenting for bifurcation aneurysms.

ABSTRACT:

Background and purpose

SACE is performed for complex aneurysms. There are several configurations of stent placement for bifurcation aneurysms. We investigated hemodynamics among 8 different configurations of stent placement, which may relate to the recanalization rate.

Materials and methods

We created a silicone block model of a patient-specific asymmetric bifurcation aneurysm. Enterprise closed-cell stents were deployed in the model as various configurations. 3D images of these stents were obtained by micro-CT. We performed CFD simulations for a no-stent model and 8 stent models: a single stent from a proximal vessel to a right or left distal vessel, a horizontal stent, a kissing-Y stent with a uniformly narrowed structure, a nonoverlapping-Y stent, a virtual-Y stent with no narrowed structure (fusion of 2 single stents), and 2 different crossing-Y stents with a focally narrowed structure. Hemodynamic parameters were evaluated.

Results

Cycle-averaged velocity and WSS in the aneurysm were reduced because of stent placement in the following order: single stent (19% reduction in cycle-averaged velocity) < nonoverlapping-Y stent (29%) < virtual-Y stent (32%) < horizontal stent (39%) < kissing-Y stent (48%) < crossing-Y stent (54%). Kissing- and crossing-Y stents redirected impingement flow into the distal vessels because of lowered porosity of stents due to narrowed structures.

Conclusions

Among 8 different configurations of stent placement, kissing- and crossing-Y stents showed the strongest reduction in flow velocity in the aneurysm because of lowered porosity of stents and redirection of impingement flow. This may be a desirable reconstruction of flow hemodynamics and may decrease recanalization rates in SACE.

Endosurgical Remodeling of Wide-Necked Bifurcation Aneurysms.

Project description:Background: Wide-necked cerebral aneurysms at a bifurcation can be difficult to treat with endovascular techniques despite recent advancements. Objective: We describe a new technique of micro-scaffold remodeling of the aneurysm neck of wide-necked bifurcation aneurysms by placing one or more microcatheters and/or wires in the efferent vessels. We hypothesize that this technique would be a better choice to change the branch angulation, allowing for an improved configuration to stably deploy coils. We present a retrospective case series to illustrate this technique. Methods: 17 wide-necked bifurcation aneurysms in 17 patients were coil embolized using this technique during a 3 year study period. Branch-vessel microcatheters and/or microwires were used to remodel the aneurysm neck and support the coil mass. Statistical analysis of the branch angulation and neck-width changes were performed during treatment. Long-term clinical outcome and follow-up angiography was obtained in 8 patients. Results: Eleven patients had complete occlusion of their aneurysm (Raymond-Roy Class I), and 6 patients had Raymond-Roy Class 2 immediately after treatment. Efferent vessels demonstrated a statistically significant change in angulation with insertion of microcatheters or microwires, while neck width did not change significantly. There were four intraoperative complications and no neurological morbidity in the immediate post-operative period. Complete occlusion was documented for all 10 subjects with long-term follow-up. Conclusions: The micro-scaffold endosurgical remodeling technique is a useful adjunct in treating wide-necked bifurcation aneurysms. By elevating branch vessels away from the aneurysm neck, this technique allows for dense coil packing while decreasing the need for balloon or stent assistance.

Patient-specific computational simulation of coronary artery bifurcation stenting.

Project description:Patient-specific and lesion-specific computational simulation of bifurcation stenting is an attractive approach to achieve individualized pre-procedural planning that could improve outcomes. The objectives of this work were to describe and validate a novel platform for fully computational patient-specific coronary bifurcation stenting. Our computational stent simulation platform was trained using n = 4 patient-specific bench bifurcation models (n = 17 simulations), and n = 5 clinical bifurcation cases (training group, n = 23 simulations). The platform was blindly tested in n = 5 clinical bifurcation cases (testing group, n = 29 simulations). A variety of stent platforms and stent techniques with 1- or 2-stents was used. Post-stenting imaging with micro-computed tomography (μCT) for bench group and optical coherence tomography (OCT) for clinical groups were used as reference for the training and testing of computational coronary bifurcation stenting. There was a very high agreement for mean lumen diameter (MLD) between stent simulations and post-stenting μCT in bench cases yielding an overall bias of 0.03 (- 0.28 to 0.34) mm. Similarly, there was a high agreement for MLD between stent simulation and OCT in clinical training group [bias 0.08 (- 0.24 to 0.41) mm], and clinical testing group [bias 0.08 (- 0.29 to 0.46) mm]. Quantitatively and qualitatively stent size and shape in computational stenting was in high agreement with clinical cases, yielding an overall bias of < 0.15 mm. Patient-specific computational stenting of coronary bifurcations is a feasible and accurate approach. Future clinical studies are warranted to investigate the ability of computational stenting simulations to guide decision-making in the cardiac catheterization laboratory and improve clinical outcomes.

Expanding Indications for Flow Diverters: Distal Aneurysms, Bifurcation Aneurysms, Small Aneurysms, Previously Coiled Aneurysms and Clipped Aneurysms, and Carotid Cavernous Fistulas.

Project description:Flow diverter devices have gained wide acceptance for the treatment of unruptured intracranial aneurysms. Most studies are based on the treatment of large aneurysms harboring on the carotid syphon. However, during the last years the "off-label" use of these stents has widely grown up even if not supported by randomized studies. This review examines the relevant literature concerning "off-label" indications for flow diverter devices, such as for distal aneurysms, bifurcation aneurysms, small aneurysms, recurrent aneurysms, and direct carotid cavernous fistulas.

Validation of bifurcation DEFINITION criteria and comparison of stenting strategies in true left main bifurcation lesions.

Project description:There are controversies on optimal stenting strategy regarding true left main (LM) bifurcation lesions. The present study compared 1- and 2-stenting strategy for patients with true LM bifurcation lesions as differentiated by DEFINITION criteria. 928 patients with true LM bifurcation lesions (Medina 1,1,1 or 0,1,1) treated with DES were enrolled consecutively. 297 (32.0%) patients were identified as complex LM bifurcation, and 631 (68.0%) patients into simple LM bifurcation group according to DEFINTION criteria. Patients in complex vs. simple LM bifurcation group had significantly higher major adverse cardiac event (MACE, including cardiac death, myocardial infarction [MI] and ischemia-driven target vessel revascularization) rate at 30 days (7.8% vs. 4.0%, p = 0.01), 1 year (10.3% vs. 6.4%, p = 0.04), and numerically at 3 years (14.2% vs. 10.1%, p = 0.07), which was mainly driven by increased MI. Moreover, patients in the 2-stent strategy group had strong trend towards lower incidence of cardiac death in both complex LM bifurcation group (2.0% vs. 5.9%, p = 0.08) and simple LM bifurcation group (1.9% vs. 4.5%, p = 0.07). In conclusion, the complex bifurcation lesion criteria established in DEFINITION study was able to risk-stratify LM bifurcation patients. Two-stent technique yielded numerically lower 3-year cardiac mortality regardless of LM bifurcation complexity.

Morphological Differences between Ruptured and Unruptured Basilar Bifurcation Aneurysms.

Project description:Background Aspect ratio (AP), daughter artery ratio (DA), and lateral angle ratio (LA) have been reported in middle cerebral artery bifurcation aneurysms to correlate with rupture status. Objective To study the differences in AP, DA, LA, and aneurysm orientation between ruptured and unruptured basilar bifurcation aneurysms. Methods Three-dimensional (3D) angiograms of patients with basilar bifurcation aneurysms were analyzed for AP, DA, and LA. Aneurysm projection was classified as type A if the long axis of aneurysm was along basilar artery and type-B if otherwise. Results Thirty-one ruptured and 17 unruptured aneurysms were analyzed. The APs were significantly different (p = 0.008), 2.63 ± 1.1 for ruptured aneurysms and 1.7 ± 0.55 for unruptured aneurysms. AP ≥ 1.9 correlated with rupture status with 68% sensitivity and 70% specificity. Type-A configuration was significantly associated with ruptured aneurysms with an odds ratio (OR) of 5.9. LAs were 0.9 ± 0.4 and 1.4 ± 0.8 for ruptured and unruptured aneurysms, respectively, and the difference tended to be significant (p = 0.56). DAs were 1.25 ± 0.22 and 1.21 ± 0.19 for ruptured and unruptured aneurysms without any statistical difference. Conclusion AP > 1.9, type-A configuration, and lower LA is associated with ruptured basilar bifurcation aneurysms. DA did not differ between ruptured and unruptured aneurysms.

Hemodynamics-driven deposition of intraluminal thrombus in abdominal aortic aneurysms.

Project description:Accumulating evidence suggests that intraluminal thrombus plays many roles in the natural history of abdominal aortic aneurysms. There is, therefore, a pressing need for computational models that can describe and predict the initiation and progression of thrombus in aneurysms. In this paper, we introduce a phenomenological metric for thrombus deposition potential and use hemodynamic simulations based on medical images from 6 patients to identify best-fit values of the 2 key model parameters. We then introduce a shape optimization method to predict the associated radial growth of the thrombus into the lumen based on the expectation that thrombus initiation will create a thrombogenic surface, which in turn will promote growth until increasing hemodynamically induced frictional forces prevent any further cell or protein deposition. Comparisons between predicted and actual intraluminal thrombus in the 6 patient-specific aneurysms suggest that this phenomenological description provides a good first estimate of thrombus deposition. We submit further that, because the biologically active region of the thrombus appears to be confined to a thin luminal layer, predictions of morphology alone may be sufficient to inform fluid-solid-growth models of aneurysmal growth and remodeling.

Y-configuration stent placement (crossing and kissing) for endovascular treatment of wide-neck cerebral aneurysms located at 4 different bifurcation sites.

Project description:Background and purposeThe Y-stent technique, including crossing-Y and kissing-Y, is a promising therapeutic option for some complex bifurcation aneurysms. Here, its efficacy and safety are evaluated on the basis of 11 bifurcation aneurysms.Materials and methodsA retrospective review was conducted for all patients who underwent endovascular treatment of aneurysms in our department between January 2009 and June 2011 to identify and analyze cases with bifurcation aneurysms reconstructed by using Y-stents.ResultsEleven patients (4 ruptured and 7 unruptured aneurysms) were identified (4 men, 7 women) with a mean age of 60.4 years. Nine aneurysms (2 AcomAs, 3 MCA-Bifs, 1 PcomA, 3 BA apexes) were treated by using the crossing-Y technique, and 2 (both BA apexes) were treated with the kissing-Y technique, achieving complete occlusion in 6 aneurysms, residual neck in 4, and partial occlusion in 1. Perioperatively, a single thromboembolic event occurred in 1 case without neurologic deficit, which required a salvaging second stent implantation. Means of 9.9 months of angiographic and 13.7 months of clinical follow-up were available. As a result, 9 (81.8) aneurysms were completely occluded, 1 with a residual neck remained stable, and 1 residual aneurysm sac was recanalized, which was retreated and achieved a complete occlusion. All patients were independent with an mRS score of 0-1 at discharge and follow-up.ConclusionsIn selected patients, the reconstruction of bifurcation aneurysms by using the Y-stent can be successfully achieved with satisfactory midterm results.

Three-dimensional hemodynamics in intracranial aneurysms: influence of size and morphology.

Project description:To use four-dimensional (4D)-flow MRI for the comprehensive in vivo analysis of hemodynamics and its relationship to size and morphology of different intracranial aneurysms (IA). We hypothesize that different IA groups, defined by size and morphology, exhibit different velocity fields, wall shear stress, and vorticity.The 4D-flow MRI (spatial resolution = 0.99-1.8 × 0.78-1.46 × 1.2-1.4 mm(3) , temporal resolution = 44-48 ms) was performed in 19 IAs (18 patients, age = 55.4 ± 13.8 years) with saccular (n = 16) and fusiform (n = 3) morphology and different sizes ranging from small (n = 8; largest dimension = 6.2 ± 0.4 mm) to large and giant (n = 11; 25 ± 7 mm). Analysis included quantification of volumetric spatial-temporal velocity distribution, vorticity, and wall shear stress (WSS) along the aneurysm's 3D surface.The 4D-flow MRI revealed distinct hemodynamic patterns for large/giant saccular aneurysms (Group 1), small saccular aneurysms (Group 2), and large/giant fusiform aneurysms (Group 3). Saccular IA (Groups 1, 2) demonstrated significantly higher peak velocities (P < 0.002) and WSS (P < 0.001) compared with fusiform aneurysms. Although intra-aneurysmal 3D velocity distributions were similar for Group 1 and 2, vorticity and WSS was significantly (P < 0.001) different (increased in Group 1 by 54%) indicating a relationship between IA size and hemodynamics. Group 3 showed reduced velocities (P < 0.001) and WSS (P < 0.001).The 4D-flow MRI demonstrated the influence of lesion size and morphology on aneurysm hemodynamics suggesting the potential of 4D-flow MRI to assist in the classification of individual aneurysms.

Real-Life Outcomes of Coronary Bifurcation Stenting in Acute Myocardial Infarction (Zabrze-Opole Registry).

Project description:Percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) of bifurcation lesions is a technical challenge associated with high risk of adverse events, especially in primary PCI. The aim of the study is to analyze long-term outcomes after PCI for coronary bifurcation in acute myocardial infarction (AMI). The outcome was defined as the rate of major adverse cardiac event related to target lesion failure (MACE-TLF) (death-TLF, nonfatal myocardial infarction-TLF and target lesion revascularization (TLR)) and the rate of stent thrombosis (ST). From 306 patients enrolled to the registry, 113 were diagnosed with AMI. In the long term, AMI was not a risk factor for MACE-TLF. The risk of MACE-TLF was dependent on the culprit lesion, especially in the right coronary artery (RCA) and side branch (SB) with a diameter >3 mm. When PCI was performed in the SB, the inflation pressure in SB remained the single risk factor of poor prognosis. The rate of cumulative ST driven by late ST in AMI was dependent on the inflation pressure in the main branch (MB). In conclusion, PCI of bifurcation culprit lesions should be performed carefully in case of RCA and large SB diameter and attention should be paid to high inflation pressure in the SB. On the contrary, the lower the inflation pressure in the MB, the higher the risk of ST.
