Abstract:
Objective To compare the effects of intra-sinus thrombolysis by using urokinase and heparin anticoagulation alone for cerebral venous sinus thrombosis (CVST).Methods Consecutive inpatients with CVST were enrolled retrospectively.Their demographic and clinical data were collected.The treatment mainly consists of intra-sinus thrombolysis by using urokinase and heparin anticoagulation alone.The outcomes were evaluated according to the modified Rankin scale (mRS) at 6 months.The mRS score ＜ 2 was defined as good outcome,and ≥2 was defined as poor outcome.Results A total of 36 patients were enrolled,including intra-sinus thrombolysis by using urokinase (n =18) and heparin anticoagulation alone (n =18).Twenty-one had good outcomes and 15 had poor outcomes.After treatment,the recanalization rate (94.4％ vs.66.7％ ;x2 =3.850,P=0.041) of the urokinase thrombolysis group and the good outcome rate at 6 months (72.2％ vs.44.4％ ; x2 =3.827,P =0.046) were significantly higher than those of the heparin anticoagulation group.The proportion of the patients receiving intra-sinus thrombolysis by using urokinase of the good outcome group was significantly higher than that of the heparin anticoagulation group (60.0％ vs.18.2 ％ ; x2 =5.360,P =0.021).Multivariate logistic regression analysis showed that the intrasinus thrombolysis by using urokinase was an independent protective factor for good outcomes in patients with CVST (odds ratio,1.085,95％ confidence interval 1.024-1.361; P=0.023),and the high coagulation state was its independent risk factor (odds ratio,0.185,95％ confidence interval 0.049-0.611;P=0.004).None of the patients occurred symptomatic cerebral hemorrhage.Conclusions Intra-sinus thrombolysis with urokinase may improve the outcomes for patients with CVST,and it is superior to the heparin anticoagulation alone.
