Abstract

The management of tandem extracranial internal carotid artery and intracranial large vessel occlusion during endovascular thrombectomy (EVT) for acute ischemic stroke (AIS) has been under-investigated. We sought to investigate outcomes of AIS patients with tandem occlusion (TO) treated with carotid artery stenting (CAS) compared to those not treated with CAS (no-CAS) during EVT.We performed a cohort study using data from AIS patients enrolled in the Italian Registry of Endovascular Treatment in Acute Stroke. Outcomes were 3 months' mortality, functional outcome, complete and successful recanalization, any intracranial hemorrhage, parenchymal hematoma and symptomatic intracerebral hemorrhage.Among 466 AIS patients with TO, CAS patients were 122 and no-CAS patients were 226 (118 excluded). After adjustment for unbalanced variables, CAS was associated with a lower rate of 3 months' mortality (OR 0.407, 95% CI 0.171-0.969, p = 0.042). After adjustment for pre-defined variables, CAS was associated with a lower rate of 3 months' mortality (aOR 0.430, 95% CI 0.187-0.989, p = 0.047) and a higher rate of complete recanalization (aOR 1.986, 95% CI 1.121-3.518, p = 0.019), successful recanalization (aOR 2.433, 95% CI 1.263-4.686, p = 0.008) and parenchymal hematoma (aOR 2.876, 95% CI 1.173-7.050, p = 0.021). CAS was associated with lower 3 months mortality (OR 0.373, 95% CI 0.141-0.982, p = 0.046) and higher rates of successful recanalization (OR 2.082, 95% CI 1.099-3.942, p = 0.024) after adjustment for variables associated with 3 months' mortality and successful recanalization, respectively.Among AIS patients with TO, CAS during EVT was associated with a higher rate of successful reperfusion and a lower rate of 3 months' mortality.

Abstract

INTRODUCTION: An ancillary advantage of bioresorbable scaffolds is the possibility of non-invasive imaging assessment of the treated coronary segment. Cardiac computed tomography angiography (CCTA) studies of resorbable magnesium scaffolds (RMS) are scarce. METHODS: In this collaborative, international study, nine patients who had an RMS implanted underwent CCTA as part of follow-up assessment. Core-lab blinded quantitative and qualitative assessment was performed by an independent CCTA investigator. RESULTS: Eight studies were amenable for quantitative analysis, and the blinded CT investigator successfully located and evaluated patency of RMS in all cases. The CCTA follow-up in-scaffold percentage diameter stenosis and area stenosis was 22.2% (12.4-30) and 39.1% (0.23-0.50), in keeping with mild in-scaffold late loss and underlying plaque growth. Moreover, a detailed coronary plaque characterization at treated segments was feasible (fibrous plaque in 69.9%, fibrofatty in 17.13%, necrotic in 4.78% and calcium in 5.72%). As in 6 out of 8 cases, the presentation was an acute coronary syndrome, these preliminary results could suggest plaque stabilization and a good coronary vessel healing with RMS. CONCLUSION: Non-invasive, follow-up assessment of RMS with CCTA is feasible. Further CCTA studies for either clinical or research purposes with the present and upcoming generation of resorbable magnesium scaffolds are warranted.

Abstract

Background and Purpose - As a reliable scoring system to detect the risk of symptomatic intracerebral hemorrhage after thrombectomy for ischemic stroke is not yet available, we developed a nomogram for predicting symptomatic intracerebral hemorrhage in patients with large vessel occlusion in the anterior circulation who received bridging of thrombectomy with intravenous thrombolysis (training set), and to validate the model by using a cohort of patients treated with direct thrombectomy (test set). Methods - We conducted a cohort study on prospectively collected data from 3714 patients enrolled in the IER (Italian Registry of Endovascular Stroke Treatment in Acute Stroke). Symptomatic intracerebral hemorrhage was defined as any type of intracerebral hemorrhage with increase of ≥4 National Institutes of Health Stroke Scale score points from baseline ≤24 hours or death. Based on multivariate logistic models, the nomogram was generated. We assessed the discriminative performance by using the area under the receiver operating characteristic curve. Results - National Institutes of Health Stroke Scale score, onset-to-end procedure time, age, unsuccessful recanalization, and Careggi collateral score composed the IER-SICH nomogram. After removing Careggi collateral score from the first model, a second model including Alberta Stroke Program Early CT Score was developed. The area under the receiver operating characteristic curve of the IER-SICH nomogram was 0.778 in the training set (n=492) and 0.709 in the test set (n=399). The area under the receiver operating characteristic curve of the second model was 0.733 in the training set (n=988) and 0.685 in the test set (n=779). Conclusions - The IER-SICH nomogram is the first model developed and validated for predicting symptomatic intracerebral hemorrhage after thrombectomy. It may provide indications on early identification of patients for more or less postprocedural intensive management.

10. Spiral CT Study of the Intracranial Circulation in the Evaluation of Aneurysms

Author

Vaudano, G.

Abstract

The introduction of the new helical CT technique, particularly its innovation in multislice CT, allows an accurate study of the intracranial vascular “architecture”.The technological progress in 3D imaging, such as maximum intensity projection (MIP) and volume-rendering (VR) technique, appears to be very helpful in detecting intracranial aneurysms, particularly around the circle of Willis. New reconstruction software optimises the evaluation of aneurysm size and the precise visualisation of the neck and its relationship with adjacent structures (vessels, bone …). These non invasive imaging modalities also can improve the correct planning of the following treatments.

Abstract

A total of 1095 patients with operable breast cancer and en-rolled in a randomized clinical trial were analysed for estrogen (ER) and progesterone (PgR) receptor content of their primary tumor, and the relationships between steroid receptor status and several epidemiologic characteristics were studied. The proportion of ER+ and median ER levels increased with age: compared to women younger than 40, those aged 66 or more were approximately three times more likely to have an ER+ tumor (OR = 3.0, 95% C.I. = 1.6–5.7). This difference tended to be more marked after comparison between patients with ER > 100 fmol/mg protein and ER- within the same age groups: OR = 7.04, 95 % C.I. = 2.89–17.12. No association emerged between age and PgR. ER status and concentrations were independent of menopausal status after adjustment for age, whereas the proportion of PgR+ and PgR levels were significantly lower in postmenopausal patients of the same age. The distribution of ER and PgR profiles was similar in relation to family history of breast cancer, reproductive events and other selected epidemiologic characteristics of the patients.

Abstract

Objective: In this study, we investigate whether a Convolutional Neural Network (CNN) can generate informative parametric maps from the pre-processed CT perfusion data in patients with acute ischemic stroke in a clinical setting., Methods: The CNN training was performed on a subset of 100 pre-processed perfusion CT dataset, while 15 samples were kept for testing. All the data used for the training/testing of the network and for generating ground truth (GT) maps, using a state-of-the-art deconvolution algorithm, were previously pre-processed using a pipeline for motion correction and filtering. Threefold cross validation had been used to estimate the performance of the model on unseen data, reporting Mean Squared Error (MSE). Maps accuracy had been checked through manual segmentation of infarct core and total hypo-perfused regions on both CNN-derived and GT maps. Concordance among segmented lesions was assessed using the Dice Similarity Coefficient (DSC). Correlation and agreement among different perfusion analysis methods were evaluated using mean absolute volume differences, Pearson correlation coefficients, Bland-Altman analysis, and coefficient of repeatability across lesion volumes., Results: The MSE was very low for two out of three maps, and low in the remaining map, showing good generalizability. Mean Dice scores from two different raters and the GT maps ranged from 0.80 to 0.87. Inter-rater concordance was high, and a strong correlation was found between lesion volumes of CNN maps and GT maps (0.99, 0.98, respectively)., Conclusion: The agreement between our CNN-based perfusion maps and the state-of-the-art deconvolution-algorithm perfusion analysis maps, highlights the potential of machine learning methods applied to perfusion analysis. CNN approaches can reduce the volume of data required by deconvolution algorithms to estimate the ischemic core, and thus might allow the development of novel perfusion protocols with lower radiation dose deployed to the patient., Competing Interests: The authors declare that the research was conducted in the absence of any commercial or financial relationships that could be construed as a potential conflict of interest., (Copyright © 2023 Gava, D’Agata, Tartaglione, Renzulli, Grangetto, Bertolino, Santonocito, Bennink, Vaudano, Boghi and Bergui.)

Abstract

Endovascular treatment (ET) showed to be safe in acute stroke, but its superiority over intravenous thrombolysis is debated. As ET is rapidly evolving, it is not clear which role it may deserve in the future of stoke treatments. Based on an observational design, a treatment registry allows to study a broad range of patients, turning into a powerful tool for patients' selection. We report the methodology and a descriptive analysis of patients from a national registry of ET for stroke. The Italian Registry of Endovascular Treatment in Acute Stroke is a multicenter, observational registry running in Italy from 2010. All patients treated with ET in the participating centers were consecutively recorded. Safety measures were symptomatic intracranial hemorrhage, procedural adverse events and death rate. Efficacy measures were arterial recanalization and 3-month good functional outcome. From 2008 to 2012, 960 patients were treated in 25 centers. Median age was 67 years, male gender 57 %. Median baseline NIHSS was 17. The most frequent occlusion site was Middle cerebral artery (46.9 %). Intra-arterial thrombolytics were used in 165 (17.9 %) patients, in 531 (57.5 %) thrombectomy was employed, and 228 (24.7 %) patients received both treatments. Baseline features of this cohort are in line with data from large clinical series and recent trials. This registry allows to collect data from a real practice scenario and to highlight time trends in treatment modalities. It can address unsolved safety and efficacy issues on ET of stroke, providing a useful tool for the planning of new trials.

Abstract

In this work we report our initial experience on the utilisation of the spiral tomodensitometry in the study of the vascular complications due to the catheterization of the internal jugular vein. We present the results of a systematic search of vascular lesions after removal of an indwelling catheter in a group of 18 patients and describe a few cases of acute complications where the use of TDMS has been very useful in the diagnostic workout. The results confirm the risks associated with the catheterization of the internal jugular vein, showing a frequency of lesions of various degree in about 50% of the cases. Moreover, we discuss some aspects of the thrombotic complications in the patients carrying a central venous catheter and the advantages of the diagnostic application of the spiral tomodensitometry.

Abstract

The authors present and demonstrate the more typical CT patterns of cerebrovascular diseases in old age, on the basis of literature and of personal experience of more than 1000 CT examinations of old patients in 1991-1992. They stress the basic role of CT in differential diagnosis between hemorrhagic and ischemic lesions. Finally, they propose a protocol for the better use of CT in the early diagnosis and the outcome of cerebrovascular diseases.

Abstract

Chronic constipation and defecation disorders are a very common disease, but the diagnosis is often unsatisfactory and therefore therapy is mostly inadequate. The purpose of this paper is to demonstrate the contribution of radiological procedures and mainly of the defecography, in improving and determining the diagnosis itself. Many normal and pathological cases are reviewed, described and demonstrated by radiological patterns. Finally, a correct protocol of different procedures, radiological and not, for morphological and functional study of large bowel and pelvis floor is stressed.
