RESUMO

PURPOSE: Endovascular treatment of direct carotid cavernous fistula (DCCF) requires invasive diagnostic cerebral angiography for diagnosis and planning; however, a less invasive modality like magnetic resonance angiography (MRA) can be useful, especially in high-risk cases. This single-centre study evaluated a newer MR angiography (MRA) sequence, silent MRA and the traditional time of flight (TOF) MRA for pre-procedural treatment planning of DCCF. METHODS: All consecutive DCCF patients who underwent TOF, silent MRA and diagnostic cerebral angiography were included in the study. Angiographic features like rent size, location, draining veins and collateral communicating arteries were analysed and compared between the two MRA sequences, with digital subtraction angiography (DSA) as the gold standard. RESULTS: Fifteen patients were included in the study. TOF MRA exhibited better sensitivity (76.9% vs 69.2%) in identifying the rent location, correctly pinpointing the location in 93.3% compared to 73.3% with silent MRA. Both MRA sequences showed good agreement with DSA for primary sac and rent size. TOF MRA correctly identified 86.2% of 210 total venous structures compared to 96% by silent MRA. Silent MRA demonstrated higher sensitivity (90% vs 76%) and accuracy (87.69 vs 94.36) in visualisation of involved veins compared to TOF MRA. CONCLUSION: Arterial characteristics of DCCF like rent location and rent size were better assessed by TOF MRA. Although both MRA identified venous features, silent MRA correlated better with DSA irrespective of the size and proximity to the site of the fistula. Combining both sequences can evaluate various angioarchitectural features of DCCF useful for therapeutic planning.

RESUMO

BACKGROUND: There is conflicting data on whether clot retrieved from mechanical thrombectomy can predict stroke etiology or the success of recanalization. We aimed to analyse the relation between thrombus histology and stroke aetiology as well as recanalization. METHODOLOGY: Histopathological analysis of clots retrieved from patients with acute ischemic stroke and large vessel occlusion was done. Quantification of the amount of fibrin, red blood cells(RBC), platelets and white blood cells (WBC) in the clots were done. The clinical, imaging data and recanalization parameters were collected. The correlation between clot composition and stroke etiology as well as recanalization were analysed. RESULTS: Of the 77 patients, the mean age was 58. 67 ± 12.96 years. The stroke etiology were cardioembolism 44(57.1 %), large artery atherosclerosis 13(16.8 %), other determined aetiology 4(5.1 %) and undetermined in 16(20.7 %) patients. There was no significant correlation between the proportions of RBC-rich, platelet-rich and fibrin-rich thrombi and the stroke etiology. The susceptibility vessel sign was associated with RBC-rich clot(92.3 % vs 7.7 %, p = .03). All RBC-rich clots(100 %) had good recanalization(p = .05). Platelet-rich clots needed less number of passes(64.7 % vs 35.3 %, p = .006) and reduced groin puncture to recanalization time(87.9 % vs 12.1 %, p = .033). WBC-rich clots required lesser number of passes(57.5 % vs 42.5 %, P = .044). In multivariate analysis, WBC-rich clots (OR 0.230, CI 0.07-0.78, p = .018) showed an independent association with reduced recanalization attempts, while platelet-rich clots showed reduced recanalization time(OR 0.09, CI 0.01-0.63, p = .016). CONCLUSION: There was no correlation between thrombus histology and the etiological stroke subtype. However, clot composition predicted the degree of recanalization and number of passes.

RESUMO

Intracranial dural arteriovenous fistulae (DAVF) are acquired fistulous communications between dural arterial branches and dural venous sinuses or cortical veins with the nidus located within the leaflets of the duramater. Dementia and Parkinsonism are amongst the rarest of clinical presentations in DAVFs and are important to diagnose early, being treatable with timely intervention. We present an interesting case of a patient who presented with rapidly progressive dementia and features of parkinsonism who was diagnosed to have extensive DAVF and made remarkable recovery after embolization of the fistulae.
