Abstract
Background Literature is inconclusive regarding the association between antiplatelet agents use and outcome after aneurysmal subarachnoid hemorrhage. Aims To investigate the association between clinical outcome and prehemorrhage use in aneurysmal subarachnoid hemorrhage patients as well as the impact of thrombocyte transfusion on rebleed and clinical outcome. Methods Data were collected from prospective databases of two European tertiary reference centers for aneurysmal subarachnoid hemorrhage patients. Patients were divided into “antiplatelet-user” and “non-user” according to the use of acetylsalicylic acid prior to the hemorrhage. Primary outcome was poor clinical outcome at six months (Glasgow Outcome Scale score 1–3). Secondary outcomes were in-hospital mortality and impact of thrombocyte transfusion. Results Of the 1033 patients, 161 (15.6%) were antiplatelet users. The antiplatelet users were older with higher incidence of cardiovascular risk factors. Antiplatelet use was associated with poor outcome and in-hospital mortality. After correction for age, sex, World Federation of Neurosurgical Societies score, infarction and heart disorder, pre-hemorrhage acetylsalicylic acid use was only associated with poor clinical outcome at six months (adjusted OR 1.80, 95% CI 1.08–3.02). Thrombocyte transfusion was not associated with a reduction in rebleed or poor clinical outcome. Conclusion In this multicenter study, the prehemorrhage acetylsalicylic acid use in aneurysmal subarachnoid hemorrhage patients was independently associated with poor clinical outcome at six months. Thrombocyte transfusion was not associated with the rebleed rate or poor clinical outcome at six months.

Platelet transfusion in patients with aneurysmal subarachnoid hemorrhage is associated with poor clinical outcome. Sci Rep 2020; 10:856.

Abstract
Patients with subarachnoid hemorrhage (SAH) who are using antiplatelet drugs prior to their hemorrhage, often receive platelet transfusions to reverse antiplatelet effects prior to life-saving surgical interventions. However, little is known about the effect of platelet transfusion on patient outcome in these patients. The aim of this study is to investigate the effect of platelet transfusion on clinical outcome in patients with aneurysmal SAH (aSAH) who use antiplatelet agents. Consecutive adult patients with an aSAH admitted between 2011 and 2015 to the Academic Medical Center (Amsterdam, the Netherlands) were included. Demographic characteristics and in-hospital complications were compared and clinical outcome was assessed after six months. Multivariable logistic regression analysis was performed to correct for confounding variables. A total of 364 patients with an aSAH were included. Thirty-eight (10%) patients underwent platelet transfusion during admission. Patients receiving platelet transfusion had worse clinical outcome (modified Rankin Scale score 4-6) at six months compared to patients without platelet transfusion (65% versus 32%, odds ratio 4.0, 95% confidence interval:1.9-8.1). Multivariable logistic regression analysis showed that platelet transfusion during admission was associated with unfavorable clinical outcome after six months; adjusted for age, treatment modality, modified Fisher and WFNS on admission (adjusted odds ratio 3.3, 95% confidence interval: 1.3-8.4). In this observational study, platelet transfusion was associated with poor clinical outcome at six months after correcting for confounding influences. In aSAH patients who need surgical treatment at low risk of bleeding, the indication for platelet transfusion needs careful weighing of the risk-benefit-balance.

Stent assisted coiling versus non-stent assisted coiling for the management of ruptured intracranial aneurysms: a meta-analysis and systematic review. J Neurointerv Surg 2019; 11:489-496. [PMID: 30842307 DOI: 10.1136/neurintsurg-2018-014388] [Citation(s) in RCA: 65] [Impact Index Per Article: 13.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 09/01/2018] [Revised: 11/14/2018] [Accepted: 11/19/2018] [Indexed: 11/03/2022]
Abstract
PURPOSE To compare the safety and efficiency of stent assisted coiling (SAC) with non-SAC for the management of ruptured intracranial aneurysms. METHODS A meta-analysis that compared SAC with coiling alone and balloon assisted coiling was conducted by database searching. The primary outcomes of this study were immediate occlusion and progressive thrombosis rate, overall perioperative complication rate, and angiographic recurrence. Secondary outcomes included mortality at discharge, hemorrhagic and ischemic complications, and favorable clinical outcome at discharge and at follow-up. RESULTS Eight retrospective cohort studies with 1408 ruptured intracranial aneurysms (SAC=499; non-SAC=909) were included. The SAC group tended to show a lower immediate complete occlusion rate than the non-SAC group (54.3% vs 64.2%; RR 0.90; 95% CI 0.83 to 0.99; I2=17.4%) and achieved a significantly higher progressive complete rate at follow-up (73.4% vs 61.0%; RR 1.30; 95% CI 1.16 to 1.46; I2=40.5%) and a lower recurrence rate (4.8% vs 16.6%; RR 0.28; 95% CI 0.16 to 0.50; I2=0.0%). With respect to safety concerns, overall perioperative complications in the SAC group were significantly higher (20.2% vs 13.1%; RR 1.70; 95% CI 1.36 to 2.11; I2=0.0%). However, no significant difference was found for mortality rate at discharge (6.3% vs 6.2%; RR 1.29; 95% CI 0.86 to 1.94; I2=0.0%), or favorable clinical outcome rate at discharge (73.4% vs 74.2%; RR 0.95; 95% CI 0.88 to 1.02; I2=12.1%) and at follow-up (85.6% vs 87.9%; RR 0.98; 95% CI 0.93 to 1.02; I2=0.0%; P=0.338). CONCLUSIONS SAC has a lower recurrence rate than non-SAC. Nevertheless, further validation by well designed prospective studies is warranted for determining whether stents improve angiographic outcome without an increased complication rate or unfavorable clinical outcome.

Endovascular treatment of ruptured intracranial aneurysms in elderly patients: clinical features and treatment outcome. Neurosurg Rev 2018; 42:745-751.

Abstract
Management of ruptured intracranial aneurysm in elderly patients is still a major challenge in the treatment of cerebrovascular disease. This study aimed to evaluate safety and efficacy profiles of ruptured intracranial aneurysms in elderly patients treated with endovascular techniques (EVTs). We conducted a retrospective case review of 53 consecutive elderly patients with ruptured intracranial aneurysms treated by EVT between the year 2011 and 2016. The patients' angiographic outcomes, clinical outcomes, and procedure-related complications were reviewed retrospectively. Univariate and multivariate logistic analysis were applied to determine the risk factors of aneurysm recurrence and clinical prognosis. In 29 (54.7%) patients, the treatment was attempted with coiling alone. The vascular remodeled technique was applied in 24 (45.3%) patients. At a median angiographic follow-up of 9 months, 35 (67.3%) aneurysms showed stable, 9 (17.3%) were improvement, and 8 (15.4%) were recurrent. According to the multivariate analysis, the size of the aneurysm was independently associated with increased risk of aneurysm recurrence (odds ratio, 1.92; 95% confidence interval, 1.181-2.211; p = 0.006). High Hunt-Hess grade at admission was an independent predictor of poor functional outcome in the multivariate analysis (odds ratio, 5.93; 95% confidence interval, 1.878-33.63; p = 0.008). In 8 (15.1%) patients, it resulted in procedure-related complications. EVT of ruptured intracranial aneurysms in elderly patients is safe, effective, and have low recurrent rate. Recurrence after EVT for ruptured aneurysms is common in cases of large-size aneurysms. The overall clinical outcome was worst in patients presented with high Hunt-Hess grade.
