RESUMO

Although cognitive decline after carotid endarterectomy (CEA) is mainly related to postoperative cerebral hyperperfusion, approximately 30% of patients with cognitive decline do not have postoperative cerebral hyperperfusion. In patients with acute ischemic events, the development of cognitive decline after such events is associated with the presence of chronic cerebral white matter hyperintensities (WMHs). The present prospective observational study aimed to determine whether preoperative WMHs and postoperative new ischemic lesions (PNILs) are associated with cognitive decline after CEA in patients without cerebral hyperperfusion after CEA. Brain magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) was performed preoperatively, and WMHs were graded according to the Fazekas scale in patients undergoing CEA for severe stenosis of the ipsilateral internal carotid. Diffusion-weighted MRI was performed before and after CEA to determine the development of PNILs. Neuropsychological testing was performed preoperatively and at 2 months postoperatively to determine the development of postoperative cognitive decline (PCD). In 142 patients without postoperative cerebral hyperperfusion, logistic regression analysis revealed that preoperative Fazekas scale of periventricular WMHs (PVWMHs) (95% confidence interval [CI]: 1.78-28.10; P = 0.0055) and PNILs in the eloquent areas (95% CI: 7.42-571.89; P = 0.0002) were significantly associated with PCD. The specificity and positive-predictive value for the prediction of PCD were significantly greater for the combination of preoperative Fazekas scale 2 or 3 of PVWMHs and PNILs in the eloquent areas than for each individually. Preoperative PVWMHs, PNILs in the eloquent areas, and the combination of both were associated with PCD in patients without cerebral hyperperfusion after CEA.

RESUMO

INTRODUCTION: Revascularization surgery is recommended for all pediatric patients with moyamoya disease (MMD) with ischemic symptoms because the brains of such patients are still developing. By contrast, no clear guidelines for selective revascularization surgery in adult patients (30 years or more) with ischemic presentation have been established. Regarding the age of initial onset of ischemic MMD, patients in their 20s are at the bottom of the distribution and this age group may share features with both adult and pediatric patients. The present prospective study aimed to clarify the clinical features and treatment outcomes of patients in their 20s (younger patients) with ischemic MMD compared with patients aged 30-60 years (older patients). METHODS: While patients with misery perfusion in the symptomatic cerebral hemisphere on 15O-positron emission tomography underwent combined surgery including direct and indirect revascularizations in the first study period and indirect revascularization alone in the second study period, patients without misery perfusion in that hemisphere received pharmacotherapy alone through the two study periods. Cerebral angiography via arterial catheterization and neuropsychological testing were performed before and after surgery. RESULTS: During 12 years, 12 younger patients were included and comprised 6% of all adult patients (194 patients). The incidence of misery perfusion in the affected hemisphere was significantly higher in younger (12/12 [100%]) than in older patients (57/182 [31%]) (p < 0.0001). No difference in the incidence of cerebral hyperperfusion syndrome and postoperatively declined cognition was seen between younger (2/5 [40%] and 2/5 [40%], respectively) and older (11/36 [31%] and 15/36 [42%], respectively) cerebral hemispheres undergoing combined revascularization surgery. No difference in the incidence of postoperatively formed collateral flows feeding more than one-third of the middle cerebral artery cortical territory on angiograms and postoperatively improved cognition was seen between younger (9/10 [90%] and 6/10 [60%], respectively) and older (18/22 [83%] and 14/22 [64%], respectively) cerebral hemispheres undergoing indirect revascularization surgery alone. CONCLUSION: Patients in their 20s with ischemic MMD always exhibit misery perfusion in the affected hemisphere, unlike older patients, and sometimes develop cerebral hyperperfusion syndrome after combined revascularization surgery, leading to cognitive decline, similar to older patients. Moreover, indirect revascularization surgery alone forms sufficient collateral circulation and restores cognitive function in patients in their 20s, similar to older patients.

RESUMO

OBJECTIVE: In 10% of patients undergoing carotid endarterectomy (CEA), the cognitive function declines postoperatively, primarily in association with postoperative cerebral hyperperfusion. In contrast, in the majority of patients undergoing CEA, long-term cognitive outcomes remain unclear. Furthermore, it is not known whether the decline in cognition due to cerebral hyperperfusion recovers on a long-term basis. This study aimed to understand how postoperative cerebral hyperperfusion affects the cognitive outcomes of patients who undergo CEA. METHODS: The participants in this prospective observational study were patients with internal carotid artery stenosis who underwent CEA. Cerebral hyperperfusion syndrome or asymptomatic cerebral hyperperfusion following CEA was determined based on brain perfusion SPECT scans and symptomatology before and after surgery. Neuropsychological testing was performed preoperatively, at 1-2 months postoperatively, and at 2 years postoperatively to investigate cognitive decline. RESULTS: A logistic regression analysis revealed that asymptomatic cerebral hyperperfusion (95% CI 13.0-84.5, p < 0.0001) and cerebral hyperperfusion syndrome (95% CI 449.7-14,237.4, p < 0.0001) were significantly associated with cognitive decline at 1-2 months postoperatively. The incidence of cognitive decline was significantly decreased at 2 years postoperatively (7%) in comparison to 1-2 months postoperatively (11%) (p = 0.0461). A logistic regression analysis also revealed that asymptomatic cerebral hyperperfusion (95% CI 3.7-36.7, p < 0.0001), cerebral hyperperfusion syndrome (95% CI 128.0-6183.6, p < 0.0001), and further strokes during the 2-year follow-up period (95% CI 1.5-78.7, p = 0.0167) were significantly associated with cognitive decline at 2 years postoperatively. The incidence of cognitive decline at 1-2 months postoperatively was significantly higher in patients with cerebral hyperperfusion syndrome (100%) than in those with asymptomatic cerebral hyperperfusion (44%) (p < 0.0001). No significant difference in incidence was observed in the former patients at 2 years postoperatively (88%), but significant reduction was found in patients with asymptomatic cerebral hyperperfusion and cognitive decline between the timepoints of 1-2 months postoperatively (100%) and 2 years postoperatively (39%) (p = 0.0001). CONCLUSIONS: Postoperative cerebral hyperperfusion causes prolonged cognitive decline at 2 years postoperatively in patients undergoing CEA.
