A research-initiated prospective cohort study with the aim to assess the effectivity, safety and long-term outcomes after surgical and endovascular treatment of unruptured intracranial aneurysms. All consecutive patients with a non-ruptured intracranial aneurysms treated at Helsinki University Hospital will be included. Safety is measured by postoperative magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) taken 1-3 days after the treatment, treatment-related complications and functional outcome at three months. Effectiveness is measured by angiographic results and assessment of long-term bleeding from the treated aneurysm. Other outcomes include risk of developing epilepsy, getting a new stroke, and dementia on long-term follow-up.
Using 3D printing technology to create personalized models of diseased heart and aortic blood vessels, surgeons can perform preoperative planning and evaluate relevant indicators.
The incidence of thrombosis in ventricular aneurysm was reported to be 35%-40%, which may lead to systemic thromboembolism. Patients with ventricular aneurysm without detectable thrombus are not routinely treated with anticoagulation. Therefore, the accuracy of intracardiac thrombus detection has an important impact on clinical management decisions. Currently, transthoracic echocardiography is the most commonly used method to detect intracardiac thrombus, but its sensitivity and positive predictive value are low. Cardiac magnetic resonance has a higher diagnostic accuracy for intracardiac thrombus, and its sensitivity and positive predictive value are higher than those of transthoracic echocardiography and CT. However, the gadolinium-based contrast agents commonly used for enhanced magnetic resonance imaging have some problems such as nephrogenic systemic fibrosis, gadolinium deposition in the brain, and short imaging time. Ferumoxytol, a superparamagnetic iron oxide nanoparticle, can be used for off-label enhanced magnetic resonance imaging. Its long intravascular half-life makes it suitable for enhanced magnetic resonance imaging with complex scanning procedures and long repetitive scans. Ferumoxytol is cleared from the blood pool by macrophages of the reticuloendothelial system, mainly in the spleen and lymph nodes. Therefore, ferumoxytol has a favourable safety even in adults and children with end-stage renal failure. The aim of this study is to evaluate the effectiveness of a novel ferumoxytol-enhanced cardiac magnetic resonance in detecting intracardiac thrombus in patients with ventricular aneurysm and after percutaneous ventricular reconstruction.
IVADA (Intracranial vertebral artery dissecting aneurysms）is one of the causes of subarachnoid hemorrhage or posterior circulation ischemia with high mortality and disability. Current endovascular therapies for IVADA mainly include parent artery occlusion and endovascular blood reconstructive techniques. The method of parent artery occlusion requires the sacrifice of one vertebral artery. For the IVADA patients whose dissection involves PICA（posterior inferior cerebellar artery）or anterior spinal artery, severe ischemia even infarction of brain stem or cerebellar may be caused after parent artery occlusion , they are usually irreversible damage, so that method are rarely used now.Endovascular flood reconstructive techniques has become the mainstream, including stent-alone or overlapping stent treatment ,stent-assisted coiling techniques, single flow diverter(FD) stents or flow diverter assisted coil, etc.With the improvements in stents, flow diverter stent is efficient, while they are associated with the risk of ischemia, especially when vital arterial branches are covered. It has been reported that FD techniques have certain advantages over traditional stents in the treatment of anterior circulating intracranial aneurysms. In the treatment of posterior circulating aneurysms, perioperative ischemic complications increase due to their influence on the blood flow of perforator arteries, but there are few long-term observations at present. Currently, studies directly contrasting flow diverter and conventional stents in patients with IVADA are rare. Therefore, we performed the study to compare the safety and efficacy between flow diverters and conventional stents in IVADA patients undergoing endovascular therapy. Stent-assisted coiling is the preferred option for most surgeons. In addition,It is believed that dense packing is not necessary as long as the aneurysm neck is covered to isolate the dissection. How ever,whether it is really necessary to adjunct coil,and if it is necessary, what is the ideal packing density of coils, there is no clear conclusion at present.This study aimed to compare the safety and efficacy between flow diverter and conventional stents in patients with IVADA, determine the ideal packing density of coils after FD stent placement,and to observe the hemodynamic changes before and after the treatment of FD stent.
The impact of cerebrovascular procedures on patients experiencing anxiety and depression is not well studied despite the high prevalence of these mental health disorders. Unruptured Intracranial aneurysms (UIAs) have a prevalence of approximately 3% and an annual risk of 1-2% in the general population. Despite the high risk of fatality following aneurysm rupture with a rate of 40-50%, the overall aneurysm growth and rupture risks are rare (less than 3% per aneurysm per year) and many patients can be observed with serial follow-up imaging over years. Nevertheless, due to the gravity of the bad consequences of aneurysm rupture, simply informing many patients of UIA diagnosis has been found to result in worse outcomes of health-related quality of life. This study aims to investigate the impact of awareness of untreated UIA on the patients' mental health utilizing the Hospital Anxiety and Depression Scale (HADS) tool.
Training in microsurgical techniques for the management of intracranial aneurysms is carried out during the practical training of the DES in Neurosurgery and during the continuous training of neurosurgeons according to the indications of the patients of the department. Currently, the recent increase in indications for endovascular treatment compared to surgical indications has led to a decrease in surgical indications and in the experience of neurosurgeons. However, there are still surgical indications that are often complex situations that neurosurgeons must overcome with a specific simulation approach. There are different simulation models for the treatment of intracranial aneurysms. The small animal (rodent) model has the disadvantage of being poorly suited to the reproduction of intracranial aneurysms (different extracranial vessel walls, too small intracerebral vessel caliber) and of being constraining to the establishment. The computerized stimulator model which has the advantage of being able to reproduce the anatomy of a patient but whose haptic sensitivity performance is difficult to reproduce for very fine movements, it is not very accessible because it is expensive. The placental model uses a fresh human placenta, the appearance of the vessels of which is very similar to those found intracerebrally, and dilations on their walls can be performed with a pediatric urinary catheter.
