Artery and venous sinus occlusion image score (AVOIS): A novel method to evaluate occlusive cerebral arteries and venous diseases.

ABSTRACT:

Aim

To establish an artery and venous sinus occlusion image score (AVOIS) which is compatible in both cerebral arteries and venous system diseases.

Methods

A total of 188 consecutive patients with the final diagnosis of anterior circulation infarct (ACI) and 56 consecutive patients with cerebral venous and sinus thrombosis (CVST) were retrospectively studied. The AVOIS was developed based on the severity of occlusive changes of main intracranial arteries and venous sinuses (present = 0, partial occlusion = 1, absent = 2), and divided into four groups (CVST group: 0, 1-5, 6-10, >10. ACI group: 0, 1-5, 6-10, >10) arbitrarily. A receiver operating characteristic (ROC) curve was applied to discover the sensitivity and specificity of AVOIS. The National Institutes of Health Stroke Scale (NIHSS), Clot Burden Score (CBS) were set as the reference. Logistic regression models were developed to adjust for baseline clinical variables and AVOIS. Length of hospital stay (LOS) was also evaluated using the Kaplan-Meier estimator.

Results

For the CVST group, a positive correlation between AVOIS and NIHSS was discovered (Spearman's ρ = 0.54, p < 0.001). For the ACI group, ROC showed relatively high sensitivity (84.8%) and specificity (81.8%). Besides, the probability of time to discharge was significantly different among the AVOIS subgroups as well (p < 0.001).

Conclusion

The AVOIS can be used to evaluate the treatment of patients with acute stroke caused by cerebral venous sinus thrombosis and anterior circulation large vessel occlusion. It is a reliable and convenient method that may help prompt prognosis and guide the treatment of individual patients.

Calibrated MRI to evaluate cerebral hemodynamics in patients with an internal carotid artery occlusion.

Project description:The purpose of this study was to assess whether calibrated magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) can identify regional variances in cerebral hemodynamics caused by vascular disease. For this, arterial spin labeling (ASL)/blood oxygen level-dependent (BOLD) MRI was performed in 11 patients (65±7 years) and 14 controls (66±4 years). Cerebral blood flow (CBF), ASL cerebrovascular reactivity (CVR), BOLD CVR, oxygen extraction fraction (OEF), and cerebral metabolic rate of oxygen (CMRO2) were evaluated. The CBF was 34±5 and 36±11 mL/100 g per minute in the ipsilateral middle cerebral artery (MCA) territory of the patients and the controls. Arterial spin labeling CVR was 44±20 and 53±10% per 10 mm Hg ▵EtCO2 in patients and controls. The BOLD CVR was lower in the patients compared with the controls (1.3±0.8 versus 2.2±0.4% per 10 mm Hg ▵EtCO2, P<0.01). The OEF was 41±8% and 38±6%, and the CMRO2 was 116±39 and 111±40 μmol/100 g per minute in the patients and the controls. The BOLD CVR was lower in the ipsilateral than in the contralateral MCA territory of the patients (1.2±0.6 versus 1.6±0.5% per 10 mmHg ▵EtCO2, P<0.01). Analysis was hampered in three patients due to delayed arrival time. Thus, regional hemodynamic impairment was identified with calibrated MRI. Delayed arrival artifacts limited the interpretation of the images in some patients.

A novel score to estimate thrombus burden and predict intracranial hypertension in cerebral venous sinus thrombosis.

Project description:BackgroundCurrent methods to evaluate the severity of cerebral venous sinus thrombosis (CVST) lack patient-specific indexes. Herein, a novel scoring method was investigated to estimate the thrombus burden and the intracranial pressure (ICP) of CVST.MethodsIn this retrospective study from January 2019 through December 2021, we consecutively enrolled patients with a first-time confirmed diagnosis of CVST by contrast-enhanced magnetic resonance venography (CE-MRV) or computed tomography venography (CTV). In these patients, a comprehensive CVST-Score was established using magnetic resonance black-blood thrombus imaging (MRBTI) to estimate the thrombus burden semi-quantitatively. The relationship between CVST-Score and ICP was explored to assess the potential of using the CVST-score to evaluate ICP noninvasively and dynamically.ResultsA total of 87 patients were included in the final analysis. The CVST-Scores in different ICP subgroups were as follows: 4.29±2.87 in ICP<250mmH2O subgroup, 11.36±3.86 in ICP =250-330mmH2O subgroup and 14.99±3.15 in ICP>330mmH2O subgroup, respectively (p<0.001). For patients with ICP ≤330mmH2O, the CVST-Score was linearly and positively correlated with ICP (R2=0.53). The receiver operating characteristic (ROC) curves showed the optimal CVST-Score cut-off values to predict ICP ≥250mmH2O and >330mmH2O were 7.15 and 11.62, respectively (P<0.001). Multivariate analysis indicated CVST-Score as an independent predictor of ICP ≥250mmH2O (odds ratio, 2.15; 95% confidence interval, 1.49-3.10; p<0.001).ConclusionsA simple and noninvasive CVST-Score can rapidly estimate the thrombus burden and predict the severity of intracranial hypertension in patients with CVST. The CVST-Score can aid in evaluating therapeutic responses and avoiding unnecessary invasive procedures at long-term follow-up.

Central retinal artery occlusion - detection score.

Project description:PurposeTo investigate the sensitivity and specificity of central retinal artery occlusion (CRAO)-Detection Score in diagnosing CRAO via questionnaire and without fundoscopy.MethodsThis prospective study enrolled 176 emergency patients suffering from acute visual loss, of whom 38 were suffering from CRAO. Before conducting any examination, we administered our questionnaire containing six questions, followed by a thorough ophthalmologic examination to make the diagnosis. Statistical analysis involved a LASSO penalised multivariate logistic regression model.ResultsOur receiver operating characteristic (ROC) analysis based on a LASSO penalised multivariate logistic regression model showed an area under the curve (AUC) of 0.9 - three out of six questions were selected by LASSO. Interestingly, the unweighted ROC analysis of only two questions (Short CRAO-Detection Score) yielded similar results with an AUC of 0.88. The short CRAO-Detection Score of 2 yielded 14% (4/28) false positive patients.ConclusionThis prospective study demonstrates that a high percentage of CRAO patients are detectable with a questionnaire. The CRAO-Detection Score might be used to triage patients suffering acute visual loss, which is important as intravenous fibrinolysis seem to be time-dependent to be effective.

Clinical features and prognostic factors of cerebral venous sinus thrombosis in a prospective series of 59 patients. For The Cerebral Venous Sinus Thrombosis Study Group.

Project description:The prognosis of cerebral venous sinus thrombosis (CVST) is variable, and outcome may range from complete recovery to death. Prognostic factors to predict outcome in the acute phase of CVST have not been analysed in a prospective study. Prognostic factors in patients enrolled in a clinical treatment trial were prospectively investigated. Poor outcome after 12 weeks, defined as death or dependency (Oxford handicap score > or =3), was used as the principle outcome measure. Univariate relations between possible prognostic factors and outcome at 12 weeks were analyzed with chi(2) tests. Treatment and all factors associated with prognosis (p< or = 0.25) were forced into a logistic regression model with a forward selection procedure. Fifty nine patients (50 women, nine men) were studied, with a mean age of 37 years (range 18 to 80 years). After 12 weeks 10 patients (17%) had a poor outcome. The univariate identified factors related to poor outcome were papilloedema, altered consciousness, coma, age older than 33 years, diagnostic delay < or =10 days, intracerebral haemorrhage, and involvement of the straight sinus. Isolated intracranial hypertension and a delta sign on CT were associated with good outcome. In the multivariate analysis coma and cerebral haemorrhage were significantly associated with a poor outcome, with odds ratios of 8.2 (95% confidence interval (95% CI) 1. 3-50.1) and 20.7 (95% CI 1.6-264.3) respectively. Involvement of the straight sinus was also weakly, but not significantly, associated with poor outcome. In conclusion, coma and intracerebral haemorrhage are independent predictors for poor outcome of CVST.

Neutrophil extracellular traps promote thrombogenicity in cerebral venous sinus thrombosis.

Project description:BackgroundNeutrophil extracellular traps (NETs) contribute to the creation of a coagulation state in various diseases. Currently, it is not clear whether NETs are present in the thrombi and plasma of patients with cerebral venous sinus thrombosis (CVST). This study aimed to investigate the presence of NETs in thrombi and blood samples from CVST patients and the procoagulant activity (PCA) of NETs during the progression of CVST.ResultsThrombi obtained from CVST patients undergoing thrombectomy were examined by immunochemistry using neutrophil elastase (NE), CD66b and citrullinated histone H3(citH3). The presence of NET markers in samples from 37 CVST patients and 32 healthy people was evaluated by ELISA. NET-producing neutrophils and neutrophil-platelet (PLT) aggregates were examined in samples obtained from CVST patients and healthy people by flow cytometry. The TAT complex in plasma sample from each group was detected by ELISA to evaluate the procoagulant activity of NETs in CVST patients. Neutrophils from healthy subjects were treated with PLT-rich plasma in the presence of anti-PF4 antibodies or an autophagy inhibitor and analyzed by flow cytometry and confocal microscopy. After treatment with NETs, the expression of von Willebrand factor (VWF), tissue factor (TF) and CD31 in human brain microvascular endothelial cells (HBMECs) was measured by confocal microscopy and western blotting. Our results showed that NETs were abundant in the plasma and thrombi from CVST patients. Platelet factor 4 (PF4) from CVST PLTs induced NET generation through autophagy. NETs could induce PCA by modulating TF and phosphatidylserine (PS) in CVST. NETs also disrupted the endothelial barrier and transformed ECs into a procoagulant phenotype to exacerbate thrombogenicity.ConclusionsNET generation was mediated by PF4 from PLTs through autophagy and contribute to thrombosis in CVST patients.

Filling Defect of Ipsilateral Transverse Sinus in Acute Large Artery Occlusion.

Project description:Background and purposeCerebral venous systems play a key role in regulating stroke outcomes. We aimed to elucidate the effect of the transverse sinus (TS) filling patterns on edema expansion and neurological outcomes in patients with acute large artery occlusion (LAO).Materials and methodsWe recruited consecutive patients with acute M1 middle cerebral artery and/or internal carotid artery occlusion who underwent pretreatment computed tomographic perfusion (CTP). On the reconstructed 4-dimensional computed tomographic angiography derived from CTP, the filling defect of the ipsilateral transverse sinus (FDITS) was defined as the length of contrast filling defect occupying at least half of the ipsilateral TS. An unfavorable outcome was defined as having a modified Rankin Scale (mRS) score of 3-6 at 3 months.ResultsA total of 318 patients were enrolled in the final analysis and 70 (22.0%) patients had baseline FDITS. The presence of FDITS was associated with the baseline NIHSS (odds ratio [OR] 1.119; 95% CI, 1.051-1.192; p < 0.001) and poor arterial collaterals (OR 3.665; 95% CI 1.730-7.766; p = 0.001). In addition, FDITS was associated with 24-h brain edema expansion (OR 7.188; 95% CI, 3.095-16.696; p < 0.001) and 3-month unfavorable outcome (OR 8.143; 95% CI 2.547-26.041; p < 0.001) independent of arterial collateral status. In the subgroup analysis of patients with FDITS who received reperfusion therapy, no significant difference was found in the rate of edema expansion and unfavorable outcome between non-reperfusion and reperfusion subgroups (both p > 0.05).ConclusionFilling defect of the ipsilateral transverse sinus was associated with edema expansion and an unfavorable outcome irrespective of the baseline arterial collateral status in patients with acute LAO, indicating that FDITS may be an important stroke-related prognostic imaging marker.

Cerebral Venous Sinus Thrombosis Following COVID-19 Vaccination: A Systematic Review.

Project description:IntroductionCOVID-19 vaccines became available after being carefully monitored in clinical trials with safety and efficacy on the human body. However, a few recipients developed unusual side effects, including cerebral venous sinus thrombosis (CVST). We aim to systematically review the baseline features, clinical characteristics, treatment, and outcomes in patients developing CVST post-COVID-19 vaccination.MethodsThis study was conducted according to the PRISMA (Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Review and Meta-Analysis) 2020 guideline. Investigators independently searched PubMed, Embase, and Google Scholar for English language articles published from inception up until September 10, 2021, reporting the incidence of CVST post-COVID-19 vaccines. We analyzed CVST patients' baseline data, type of vaccines, clinical findings, treatment, and outcomes. Our systematic review process yielded patient-level data.ResultThe final analysis included 25 studies that identified 80 patients who developed CVST after the COVID-19 vaccination. Of the 80 CVST cases, 31 (39.24%) patients died. There was no significant relationship between mortality and age (P = .733), sex (P = .095), vaccine type (P = .798), platelet count (P = .93), and comorbidities such as hypertension (P = .734) and diabetes mellitus (P = .758). However, mortality was associated with the duration of onset of CVST symptoms after vaccination (P = .022). Patients with CVST post-COVID-19 vaccination were more likely to survive if treated with an anticoagulant (P = .039). Patients who developed intracranial hemorrhage (P = .012) or thrombosis in the cortical vein (P = .021) were more likely to die.ConclusionCOVID-19 vaccine-associated CVST is associated with high mortality rate. Timely diagnosis and management can be lifesaving for patients.
