Event Description
Ni, jiang, xu, lei, yang, su, gu, and mao; journal of neurosurgery; 2018; 128:1813¿1822; treatment of aneurysms in patients with moyamoya disease: a 10-year single-center experience; doi: 10.3171/2017.3.Jns162290 ni, jiang, xu, lei, yang, su, gu, and mao; journal of neurosurgery; 2018; 128:1813¿1822; treatment of aneurysms in patients with moyamoya  disease: a 10-year single-center experience; doi: 10.3171/2017.3.Jns162290.Medtronic received information in literature article that 34 patient¿s were treated for moyamoya disease (mmd) accompanied by intracranial aneurysms.There were 17 men and 17 women ranging in age from 11 to 67 years.Clinical presentation included subarachnoid hemorrhage (sah) in 8 patients, intraventricular hemorrhage (ivh) in 11, intracerebral hemorrhage (ich) in 3, ich with ivh in 9, sah with ich in 1, and ischemic stroke in 2.Among these patients, 2 harbored multiple aneurysms (2 aneurysms).Thus, there were 36 aneurysms in this cohort.All procedures were performed using a uniplane angiographic system with the patient under general anesthesia.Vascular access was obtained via a transfemoral approach by using a 5.0- or 6.0-fr envoy guiding catheter.With the guidance of a roadmap[1]ping technique, a microcatheter (echelon-14, echelon-10, or marathon) was navigated to the aneurysm sac¿or as close as possible to it¿in the parent artery.Detachable coils or onyx 18 were used to embolize the aneurysm or the distal parent artery as close as possible to the lesion.Surgical clipping was performed simultaneously with cerebral revascularization.An enlarged modified pterional approach was used.Results of electrophysiological monitoring, including somatosensory evoked potentials and motor evoked potentials, were recorded in all cases.Angiographic intraoperative evaluation was performed using indocyanine green video angiography.Of the 17 peripheral aneurysms, 3 were treated with selective occlusion using coils.One aneurysm was treated with onyx 18 to occlude the distal parent artery when the microcatheter approached but failed to reach the sac.The other 13 aneurysms were treated with cerebral revascularization alone, because of the inaccessible arterial approach to the aneurysms.Of the 13 main trunk aneurysms in the anterior circulation, 10 lesions were clipped with the assistance of intraoperative monitoring, followed by simultaneous cerebral revascularization, and the other 3 were treated with endovascular coiling followed by staged cerebral re[1]vascularization.Of the 6 main trunk aneurysms in the posterior circulation, 4 underwent endovascular coiling, where-as the remaining 2 were treated with pure revascularization.Results: two patients underwent indirect bypass due to the lack of a recipient artery on the brain surface.There were 3 procedure-related complications in this cohort.One coil protruded into the ica during the endovascular procedure in 1 patient who harbored an ophthalmic artery (opha) aneurysm.However, no neurological symptoms developed in this patient.An intracerebral hematoma was discovered in 1 patient with an anterior communicating artery (acoa) aneurysm 24 hours after aneurysm clipping and revascularization and was evacuated immediately.The patient displayed moderate disability at discharge, improved to mild disability at the 6-month follow-up, and recovered to normal at the 72-month follow-up.One patient with an ica bifurcation aneurysm suffered an ipsilateral basal ganglia infarction 72 hours after aneurysm clipping and edms.The patient still had moderate disability at the latest follow-up.No patient died during hospital admission.One patient who harbored a basilar apex aneurysm and underwent revascularization alone died of contralateral ich 9 months after surgery.Of the surviving 33 patients, none suffered recurrent intracranial hemorrhage, cerebral ischemia, or aneurysm rupture during the follow-up.Three patients had severe neurological deficits (mrs score 3¿5) due either to the brain damage caused by the initial ictus of intracranial hemorrhage or to a surgical complication.The remaining 30 patients attained good outcomes, with or without mild neurological deficits.
