Comparison of Efficacy of Intraoperative Indocyanine Green Videoangiography in Clipping of Anterior Circulation Aneurysms with Postoperative Digital Subtraction Angiography.

ABSTRACT: The aim of this study is to assess the efficacy of intraoperative indocyanine green videoangiography (ICG-VA) using postoperative digital subtraction angiography (DSA) in clipped anterior circulation aneurysms.A prospective study was conducted for 1 year which included thirty patients of anterior circulation aneurysm treated by clipping of aneurysm. Intraoperative ICG-VA was performed on all the patients. Postoperative DSA was performed to assess the efficacy of ICG-VA.Intraoperative ICG-VA revealed the occlusion of aneurysm in all the thirty patients. Postoperative DSA revealed aneurysm neck remnant in two patients and demonstrated no branch occlusion.Intraoperative ICG-VA is useful in assessing the completeness of clipping of cerebral aneurysms and ensures patency of branch vessels, thus providing a better postoperative outcome. It replaces the need for invasive postoperative angiographic imaging in a selected group of patients and is also cost effective.

Project description:Objective: Asymmetrical cortical vein sign (ACVS) shown on susceptibility-weighted imaging (SWI) can reflect regional hypoperfusion. We investigated if ACVS could predict the cerebral collateral circulation (CC) as assessed by digital subtraction angiography (DSA) in acute ischemic stroke patients with ipsilateral severe stenosis/occlusion of the anterior circulation. Methods: Clinical data and imaging data of 62 acute ischemic stroke patients with ipsilateral severe stenosis or occlusion of the anterior circulation confirmed by DSA were collected retrospectively. Participants underwent magnetic resonance imaging, including an SWI sequence. ACVS was defined as more and/or larger venous signals in the cerebral cortex of one side of SWI than that in the contralateral side. ACVS was measured using the Alberta Stroke Program Early Computed Tomography score based on SWI. The grading of the cerebral CC was judged using DSA. Results: Of the 62 patients, 30 patients (48.4%) had moderate-to-severe ACVS. According to DSA assessment, 19 patients (30.6%) had a good CC (grade 3-4), and 43 (69.4%) patients had a poor-to-moderate CC (grade 0-2). Among the 30 patients with moderate-to-severe ACVS, only three (10%) patients had a good CC, and 27 (90%) patients had a poor-to-moderate CC; among the 32 patients with none or mild ACVS, 16 (50%) of them had a good CC, and the other 50% had a moderate-to-severe CC. We constructed two logistic regression models with ACVS grading and none or mild ACVS entered into the models, respectively, together with age and large-artery occlusion. In model 1, no ACVS (compared with severe ACVS; OR = 40.329, 95%CI = 2.817-577.422, P = 0.006), mild ACVS (compared with severe ACVS; OR = 17.186, 1.735-170.224, 0.015) and large-artery occlusion (OR = 45.645, 4.603-452.592, 0.001) correlated with a good CC. In model 2, none or mild ACVS (OR = 36.848, 95%CI = 5.516-246.171, P < 0.001) was significantly associated with a good CC as judged by DSA, adjusted by age and large-artery occlusion. Conclusions: Cortical venous changes in SWI may be a useful indicator for the cerebral CC as confirmed by DSA.

Project description:BACKGROUND:Hypoparathyroidism, the most common complication after thyroid surgery, leads to hypocalcaemia and significant medical problems. An RCT was undertaken to determine whether intraoperative parathyroid gland angiography with indocyanine green (ICG) could predict postoperative hypoparathyroidism, and obviate the need for systematic blood tests and oral calcium supplementation. METHODS:Between September 2014 and February 2016, patients who had at least one well perfused parathyroid gland on ICG angiography were randomized to receive standard follow-up (measurement of calcium and parathyroid hormone (PTH) on postoperative day (POD) 1 and systematic supplementation with calcium and vitamin D; control group) or no supplementation and no blood test on POD 1 (intervention group). In all patients, calcium and PTH levels were measured 10-15?days after thyroidectomy. The primary endpoint was hypocalcaemia on POD 10-15. RESULTS:A total of 196 patients underwent ICG angiography during thyroid surgery, of whom 146 had at least one well perfused parathyroid gland on ICG angiography and were randomized. None of these patients presented with hypoparathyroidism, including those who did not receive calcium supplementation. The intervention group was statistically non-inferior to the control group (exact 95 per cent c.i. of the difference in proportion of patients with hypocalcaemia -0·053 to 0·053; P?=?0·012). Eleven of the 50 excluded patients, in whom no well perfused parathyroid gland could be identified by angiography, presented with hypoparathyroidism on POD 1, and six on POD 10-15, which was significantly different from the findings in randomized patients (P?=?0·007). CONCLUSION:ICG angiography reliably predicts the vascularization of the parathyroid glands and obviates the need for postoperative measurement of calcium and PTH, and supplementation with calcium in patients with at least one well perfused parathyroid gland.
