Objective To investigate the influencing factors of the formation of intracranial collateral circulation in patients with anterior circulation chronic occlusion. Methods From January 2015 to December 2017,181 consecutive patients with unilateral internal carotid artery or middle cerebral artery chronic occlusion diagnosed by DSA and admitted to the Department of Neurology,Chinese People′s Liberation Army General Hospital were enrolled retrospectively. According to the American society for interventional and therapeutic neuroradiology/society of interventional radiology ( ASITN/SIR ) collateral circulation grading system, 68 patients were divided into poor collateral circulation group (grade 0-2) and 113 were divided into good collateral circulation group (grade 3-4). After admission,the patients completed the relevant examinations, including blood routine,blood uric acid,blood lipids,and DSA examination. The age,gender,basic diseases (hypertension,diabetes,hyperlipidemia, coronary heart disease, history of previous ischemic stroke) and history of smoking/alcohol of the patients were recorded. The formation of collateral circulation was used as the dependent variable. The factor of P<0. 05 in the univariate analysis was included in the multivariate logistic regression analysis. Results (1) The patients of the poor collateral circulation group were older than those of the good collateral circulation group (61 ± 9 years vs. 56 ± 12 years),and the proportion of hyperlipidemia was higher than that of the good collateral circulation group (26. 5%[18/68] vs. 13. 3%[15/113]). The differences were statistically significant between the groups (all P<0. 05). There were no significant differences in the proportions of gender,hypertension,diabetes,coronary heart disease,ischemic stroke,tobacco and alcohol history between the two groups ( all P>0. 05) . (2) Compared with the good collateral circulation group,the level of high density lipoprotein ( HDL) in the poor collateral circulation group was lower. The differences were statistically significant between the groups (1. 0 ± 0. 2 mmol/L vs. 1. 1 ±0. 3 mmol/L,P<0. 05). There were no significant differences in blood uric acid,triglyceride,cholesterol, low-density lipoprotein,and platelet count levels between the two groups (all P>0. 05). (3) After variable selection,age (from young to old) and HDL (from low to high) as independent variables and the formation of collateral circulation as dependent variables, they were included in multivariate logistic regression analysis. The results showed that increasing age increases the risk of poor collateral circulation (OR,1. 053, 95%CI 1.021-1.085,P <0.05);the elevated HDL level was a protective factor of the formation of collateral circulation (OR,0. 265,95% CI 0. 085-0. 825,P<0. 05). Conclusion With the increase of age,the risk of intracranial poor collateral circulation increases,and the increased HDL level is beneficial to the formation of collateral circulation.

Objective To investigate the risk assessment,guiding role,and clinical value of Vaso CT image features for recanalization of vertebrobasilar junction occlusion. Methods From January 2016 to May 2017,14 patients with vertebrobasilar junction occlusion admitted to the Department of Neurology, Chinese PLA General Hospital were analyzed retrospectively. Preoperative cerebral angiography confirmed vertebrobasilar junction occlusion. Vaso CT was used to measure the length of the occluded vessels and vascular direction at both ends. According to these results, the operative risks were evaluated and the recanalization of vertebrobasilar junction occlusion were guided. Results The length of vertebrobasilar junction occlusion was 2. 56-19. 09 mm (mean 4. 5 ± 2. 1 mm) in 14 patients,and 13 of them were treated with the recanalization of vertebrobasilar artery occlusion,the blood vessels of 12 cases were successfully recanalized and stent placement was performed after the recanalization,among them,8 Solitaire stents and 4 Wingspan stents were implanted;One patient did not perform recanalization because of longer length of occlusion (19. 09 mm). All patients operated did not have any perioperative complications, and the neurological symptoms were significantly improved after procedure. Conclusion Vaso CT can accurately determine the surgical risk of the recanalization of vertebrobasilar junction occlusion,and can guide the surgical pathways,reduce the incidence of perioperative complications,and improve the success rate of the operation.

Objective:To evaluate the efficacy of endovascular stenting of various types of venous sinus stenosis in idiopathic intracranial hypertension (IIH).Method:Clinical, radiological, and manometric data before and after stenting in venous sinus stenosis were retrospectively analyzed in 99 IIH patients who were refractory to medical therapy or rapidly progressed between July 2004 to July 2019. The follow-up period was between 2.3 months to 11 years.Results:Our study enrolled 21 men (21.2%)and 78 women (78.8%) with average body mass index (BMI) 19.2-40.6(27.0±4.4) kg/m2 and median age 37 years. Before stent placement, the mean transverse sinus stenosis gradient was 1-59(26±8) mmHg. Patients with extrinsic stenosis were younger than those with intrinsic and mixed stenosis. In all cases, stenting was effective for papilledema. Fifty patients complained of headaches. Pulsatile tinnitus in twenty-eight patients completely alleviated after stenting. In one patient, replacement of stent did not improve symptoms, and a subsequent CSF diversion procedure was performed and effective.Conclusion:Irrespective of the type of stenosis, stenting of venous sinus stenosis is an effective treatment for IIH. Patients with persistent papilledema post-stenting and elevated transverse pressure pre-stenting should be followed closely as high risk of stenting failure may occur and further diversion procedure is needed.

Objective:To investigate the safety and effectiveness of Neuroform Atlas stent-assisted coiling in the endovascular treatment of intracranial aneurysms.Methods:This was a retrospective, single-center observational study of 77 patients who underwent endovascular treatment of intracranial aneurysms using the Neuroform Atlas device at the Department of Neurology, People′s Liberation Army General Hospital from July 2020 to May 2022. There were 34 males and 43 females, with a median (range) age of 59 (23-81) years. The degree and effect of aneurysm embolization were evaluated by modified Raymond grading post procedure and after 6 months. Complications occurring during the perioperative period were recorded. Vaso computed tomography was performed immediately after the operation to assess stent opening and adherence. Digital subtraction angiography was performed 6 months after discharge and the aneurysm was classified as cured, stable, or recurrent.Results:A total of 87 Atlases were successfully released in 77 cases. Angiography performed immediately after the embolization revealed 19 (24.7%) modified Raymond grade Ⅰ, 10 (13.0%) grade Ⅱ, and 48 (62.3%) grade Ⅲa cases. Three perioperative complications were observed including thrombotic events in 2 cases and stent migration in 1 case. A follow-up angiogram was available for 47 aneurysms, and showed that modified Raymond grade Ⅰ occlusion was achieved in 38 (80.9%) cases, grade Ⅱ in 2 (4.3%) cases, and grade Ⅲa in 7 (14.9%) cases. At the 6-month follow-up, 38 patients were cured and 7 were stable, whereas 2 patients experienced a recurrence of aneurysm. Stenosis of the parent artery occurred in 3 (6.4%) cases, including 2 at the head and 1 inside the stent.Conclusions:The results of this preliminary study suggest that Neuroform Atlas stent-assisted coiling has a high occlusion rate and low incidence of complications in the endovascular treatment of aneurysms. However, the effectiveness of this procedure for large aneurysms and long-term outcomes require further investigation.

Objective:To investigate the perioperative adverse events and complications of flow-diverter devices in the treatment of unruptured intracranial aneurysms.Methods:This is a retrospective case series study. The clinical and imaging data of 174 patients with unruptured intracranial aneurysms treated with flow-diverter devices in the Department of Neurointervention, Department of Neurology, the First Medical Center of Chinese People′s Liberation Army General Hospital from January 2020 to January 2024 were retrospectively analyzed. There were 63 males and 111 females, with an age of (53.9±11.4) years (range:23 to 76 years).The occurrence, development and outcome of perioperative complications and related adverse events during treatment were collected and analyzed. The degree of aneurysm embolization was evaluated using the O′Kelly-Marotta (OKM) grading system,with OKM grade C and D as successful occlusion.Results:A total of 187 flow-diverter devices (from 7 different brands) were implanted in 174 patients (with 294 aneurysms). Of these, 151 cases involved standalone stent embolization, 26 cases involved stent embolization combined with coil assistance, and 5 cases involved the use of two flow-diverter devices simultaneously. Twenty-nine cases (16.7%,29/174) suffered intraoperative adverse events, including 10 cases of poor stents deployment, 3 cases of stents migration into the aneurysm sac, 1 cases of abnormal guidewire movement, 4 cases of ischemic events. Complications occurred in 10 patients (5.7%, 10/174), and neurological deficits occurred in 5 patients (2.9%, 5/174). A total of 129 patients completed follow-up for more than 12 months after surgery. There were 117 aneurysms with OKM grade D and 22 with OKM grade C, showing a satisfactory healing rate of 77.7% (139/179).Conclusion:The effect of flow-diverter devices in the treatment of intracranial aneurysms is satisfactory, but complications and adverse events cannot be ignored, especially the relatively high incidence of perioperative adverse events, which requires neurointerventional physicians to be vigilant.
