The Use of Stent Grafts for the Treatment of Aneurysms and Dissections of the Thoracic Aorta: A Single Centre Experience

OBJECTIVE: To review the results of stent graft treatment for diseases of the thoracic aorta. DESIGN: A retrospective study of the results of thoracic stent graft procedures in a single centre. METHODS: The results of 30 procedures performed in 24 patients were analysed. Eleven patients had aneurysmal dilatation of the descending thoracic aorta (>5.5 cm), nine patients had complicated type B dissection, three had penetrating ulcers and one had a traumatic pseudoaneurysm. Imaging follow-up consisted of CT scans performed at one, three, six and 12 months following the procedure and annually thereafter. RESULTS: One technical failure occurred due to a ruptured external iliac artery. There were no other immediate failures. The primary technical success rate was 83%. The 30-day procedural and patient mortality rates were 7 and 8%, respectively. No neurological complications occurred. Seven patients had the subclavian artery covered without complications. Secondary intervention was required in 21%. During the follow-up period (mean 11 months, range 1-48 months.) there were five deaths, two of which were related to stent graft infection. CONCLUSION: Thoracic stent grafts offer a realistic alternative to surgery.     

Multiphoton microscopy for pre-clinical evaluation of flow-diverter stents for treating aneurysms

BackgroundConventional histological analyses are the gold standard for the study of aneurysms and vascular pathologies in pre-clinical research. Over the past decade, in vivo and ex vivo imaging using multiphoton microscopy have emerged as powerful pre-clinical tools for detailed tissue analyses that can assess morphology, the extracellular matrix (ECM), cell density and vascularisation. Multiphoton microscopy allows for deeper tissue penetration with minor phototoxicity.ObjectiveThe present study aimed to demonstrate the current status of multimodality imaging, including multiphoton microscopy, for detailed analyses of neo-endothelialisation and ECM evolution after flow-diverter stent (FDS) treatment in an experimental rabbit model of aneurysms.MethodsMultiphoton microscopy tools for assessing autofluorescence and second harmonic generation (SHG) signals from biological tissues were used to evaluate the endovascular treatment of intracranial aneurysms in an animal model of aneurysms (pig, rabbit). Results from multiphoton microscopy were compared to those from standard histology, electronic and bright field microscopy.ConclusionsThe present study describes novel evaluation modes based on multiphoton microscopy for visualising tissue morphology (e.g., collagen, elastin, and cells) to qualify and quantify the extent of neo-intimal formation of covered arteries and device integration into the arterial wall using a rabbit model of intracranial aneurysms treated with FDS.

目的探讨破裂大脑中动脉动脉瘤的诊断、显微手术治疗及其疗效。方法回顾性分析显微手术治疗的70例破裂大脑中动脉动脉瘤患者的临床资料。64例患者术前进行了头颅3D-CTA或/和DSA检查,6例仅行头颅CT检查。结果 70例患者中,67例行动脉瘤夹闭术,3例行动脉瘤包裹术。术后随访3月～2年,按GOS评分,5分57例,4分5例,3分5例,2分1例,1分2例;60例患者行3D-CTA或/和DSA复查,未见动脉瘤复发,其中1例行包裹术的患者动脉瘤无明显增大。结论破裂大脑中动脉动脉瘤应尽早采取显微手术治疗,以有效改善预后;术中多普勒超声的使用能为手术提供帮助。     

Association between anatomical variations of the posterior communicating artery and the presence of aneurysms

Objectives: Posterior communicating artery aneurysms (PcoAA) account for 30–35% of intracranial aneurysms. The anatomical factors involved in the formation of PCoAA are poorly known. The study aimed to investigate the anatomical variations in the posterior communicating artery (PcoAs) and the presence of PCoAA.

Methods: All 154 patients hospitalized from January 2008 to December 2013 at the department of neurology of our hospital were included in this study; 76 were confirmed with PCoAA upon cerebral angiography and 78 were confirmed without cranial artery aneurysm (controls). According to the blood supply pattern, variations of the PCoAA were classified as Type P0, P-I, or P-II. The angles of C7 and C6 of the internal carotid artery on each side were analyzed.

Results: Compared with controls, patients with PCoAA had a higher frequency of abnormal posterior communicating artery (Types P-I and P-II) (p < 0.001). The angles of C7 and C6 on the contralateral side in the PCoAA group were significantly greater than on the affected side, and significantly lesser than in controls (p < 0.001). There was no difference in the angle between the culprit artery and the contralateral one.

Discussion: Abnormal PCoAs (Types P-I and P-II) might be more vulnerable to PCoAA development, and Type P-II was the most vulnerable. There was a correlation between the angles of C7 and C6 part of the internal carotid artery and the presence of symptomatic PCoAA, with smaller angles being associated with increased frequency of symptomatic PCoAA.
