Superficial temporal artery interposition bypass for the treatment of complex intracranial aneurysms: Flexible and creative options for flow preservation bypass. Clin Neurol Neurosurg 2023; 235:108019. [PMID: 37979563 DOI: 10.1016/j.clineuro.2023.108019] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 09/09/2023] [Revised: 10/20/2023] [Accepted: 10/22/2023] [Indexed: 11/20/2023]
Abstract
PURPOSE Flow-preservation bypass is a treatment option for complex intracranial aneurysms (IAs) that cannot be managed with microsurgical clipping or endovascular treatment. Various bypass methods are available, including interposition grafts such as the radial artery or saphenous vein. Size discrepancy, invasiveness, and procedure complexity must be considered when using interposition grafts. We describe our experience of treating complex IAs using a superficial temporal artery (STA) interposition bypass. METHODS We retrospectively reviewed the medical records and operative videos of all patients who were treated for complex IAs at our center from January 2009 to December 2021 using cerebral revascularization. Clinical, radiological, and surgical findings of the cases that underwent STA interposition bypass were investigated. RESULTS Seventy-six bypass procedures were performed of which seven (9.2%) complex IAs were managed using STA interposition bypass. Of these 5 cases were of anterior cerebral artery, 1 of middle cerebral artery, and 1 of posterior inferior cerebellar artery aneurysm. There were no postoperative ischemic complications. Revision surgery for postoperative pseudomeningocele was performed in one case. The long-term bypass patency rate was 85.7% (6 out of 7) and good long-term aneurysm control was achieved in all cases, with a mean follow-up of 64 months. CONCLUSIONS When treating complex IAs, creative revascularization strategies are needed in selective cases for favorable outcomes. STA interposition graft bypass which can reduce the size discrepancy between the donor and recipient may be a less invasive, flexible, and practical option for treating complex IAs.

Abstract
Vascular bypass surgery takes a significant place in the treatment of vascular disease. According to various assessments, this type of surgery is associated with almost 20 % of all vascular surgery episodes (up to 23 % according to the Federal Neurosurgical Center of Novosibirsk). Even though the problem of using of vascular grafts is obvious and natural, many problems associated with them are not still elucidated. From the mechanics' point of view, a vascular bypass is a converging or diverging tee, and the functioning of such structures still does not have strict mathematical formulations and proofs in the general case, which forces many researchers to solve specific engineering problems associated with shunting. Mathematical modeling, which is the gold standard for virtual simulations of industrial and medical problems, faces great difficulties and limitations in solving problems for vascular bypasses. Complications in the treatment of the vascular disease may follow the difficulties in mathematical modeling, and the price can be a cardiac arrest or a stroke. This work is devoted to the main aspects of the medical application of vascular bypasses and their functioning as a mechanical system, as well the mathematical aspects of their possible setup.

Abstract
BackgroundThe safety of extracranial–intracranial (EC–IC) bypass in the management of anterior circulation intracranial aneurysms (IAs) remains to be determined. This systematic review aims to summarize the existing evidence and provide guidance for the precise management of IAs.Data sourceWe constructed search strategies and comprehensively searched Pubmed, Medline, Embase, Web of science, and Cochrane library.MethodsThis systematic review was actualized according to the PRISMA statement. We evaluated study quality using the methodological index for non-randomized study (MINORS). Effect sizes were pooled using a random-effects model. Heterogeneity between studies was assessed using the I2 test. Publication bias was assessed using the Egger's test. The registration number for this systematic review is CRD42023396730.ResultThis systematic review included a total of 21 articles, involving 915 patients. Postoperative bypass patency rate was 99% (95% CI 0.98–1.00); short-term follow-up was 98% (95% CI 0.94–1.00); long-term follow-up was 95% (95% CI 0.93–0.97). The long-term follow-up occlusion rate of saphenous vein was higher than that of radial artery (OR 6.10 95% CI 1.04–35.59). Short-term surgery-related mortality was 0.3% (95% CI 0.000–0.012); long-term follow-up was 0.4% (95% CI 0.000–0.013); The proportion of patients with a score of 0–2 on the modified Rankin Scale (mRS) during long-term follow-up was 92% (95% CI 0.86–0.98). The incidence rates of long-term follow-up complications were: ischemic 3% (95% CI 0.01–0.06); hemorrhagic 1% (95% CI 0.00–0.03); neurological deficit 1% (95% CI 0.00–0.03); other 3% (95% CI 0.01–0.06).LimitationMost of the included studies were retrospective studies. Studies reporting preoperative status were not sufficient to demonstrate postoperative improvement. Lack of sufficient subgroup information such as aneurysm rupture status.ConclusionEC–IC therapy for anterior circulation IAs has a high safety profile. Higher level of evidence is still needed to support clinical decision.Systematic review registrationhttps://www.crd.york.ac.uk/prospero/display_record.php?ID=CRD42023396730, identifier: CRD42023396730.

Flow alteration therapy for impending rupture of intracranial giant aneurysm after flow diverter placement. Surg Neurol Int 2022; 13:323. [PMID: 36128122 PMCID: PMC9479598 DOI: 10.25259/sni_437_2022] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 05/08/2022] [Accepted: 07/14/2022] [Indexed: 11/18/2022] Open
Abstract
Background: Flow diverter (FD) placement is generally effective for intractable internal carotid artery (ICA) aneurysms. However, salvage treatment for the aneurysm enlarging even after FD placement remains to be elucidated. Additional overlapping FD placement is considered the first-line treatment for residual or recurrent aneurysms. However, it is unclear whether overlapping FD is also effective for enlarging giant aneurysms that are considered impending rupture status. Although parent artery occlusion is a promising option, treatment strategy must be optimized, especially when a critical perforating artery is involved. Case Description: A 74-year-old woman experienced rapid symptomatic growth of her giant supraclinoid ICA aneurysm 10 months after FD placement. We assumed that reinforcement of flow diverting effect alone would be less effective for this extremely intractable aneurysm with more aggressive clinical feature so that surgical bailout by parent artery occlusion was planned. Complete ICA obliteration underneath the aneurysm was unavailable due to the presence of anterior choroidal artery. Thus, we took a flow alteration strategy, where we created minimal retrograde flow through the parent artery by a combination of an extracranial-intracranial bypass and targeted endovascular proximal parent artery obliteration, resulting in prevention of aneurysmal rupture and further growth. Conclusion: Impending rupture of the intracranial giant aneurysm after FD placement may be controllable with a tailor-made parent artery occlusion strategy even when a critical perforating artery is involved.

Abstract
Background To summarize the safety and effectiveness of high flow extracranial to intracranial saphenous vein bypass grafting in the treatment of complex intracranial aneurysms. Methods The data of complex intracranial aneurysms patients for high flow extracranial to intracranial saphenous vein bypass grafting from January 2008 to January 2020 were retrospectively collected and analyzed. Eighty-two patients (31 men and 51 women) with 89 aneurysms underwent 82 saphenous vein bypass grafts followed by immediate parent vessel occlusion. The aneurysm was located at the internal carotid artery, middle cerebral artery, and basilar artery in 75, 11, and 3 cases, respectively. Results The patency rate of bypass grafting was 100, 100, 96.3 and 92.4% on intraoperation, on the first postoperative day, at discharge and 6 months follow-up, respectively. At discharge and 6 months follow-up, 3 and 6 patients had graft occlusions. The main postoperative complications were transient hemiparesis and hemianopsia. 3 patients died due to bypass complications and poor physical condition. Conclusions High flow extracranial to intracranial saphenous vein bypass grafting is safe and effective in the treatment of complex intracranial aneurysms and the saphenous vein can meet the requirements of brain blood supply. A high rate of graft patency and adequate cerebral blood flow can be achieved. Highlights A single-centre long-term retrospective study was conducted to assess the safety and effectiveness of high flow EC-IC saphenous vein bypass grafting in the treatment of complex intracranial aneurysms. The data of 82 patients from January 2008 to January 2020 were retrospectively collected and analysed. We found the patency rate of bypass grafting was 100, 100, 96.3 and 92.4% on intraoperation, on the first postoperative day, at discharge and 6 months follow-up, respectively. At discharge and 6 months follow-up, 3 and 6 patients had graft occlusions. Finally, we conclude that high flow extracranial to intracranial saphenous vein bypass grafting is safe and effective in the treatment of complex intracranial aneurysms and the selected blood supply vessels can meet the requirements of blood supply. As far as we know, this study is one of the maximum number of cases in the treatment of complex intracranial aneurysms with saphenous vein bypass.

Abstract
Objective: This work aims to present our experience of patients with complex cerebral aneurysm treated with a hybrid approach: superficial temporal artery–middle cerebral artery (STA–MCA) bypass in combination with endovascular exclusion of the aneurysm. Method: Patients with aneurysms deemed unclippable and uncoilable were included. All patients were treated with a hybrid approach. After STA–MCA bypass, the parent artery was temporarily occluded. If the intraoperative motor evoked potential (MEP) and somatosensory evoked potential (SEP) waveforms remain normal and last for 30 min, the aneurysm and te parent artery will be embolized permanently with detachable balloons or coils. Results: A total of 20 patients with 22 aneurysms were included in this study. There were 13 women and 7 men, with an average age of 42.5 years. Intraoperative angiography showed the good patency of all the STA grafts, and neither SEP nor MEP abnormalities were detected. After the parent artery and the aneurysm were occluded, the intraoperative angiography showed an immediately successful exclusion of the aneurysm in 20 aneurysms and immediate contrast stasis in two. All patients recovered uneventfully without ischemic or hemorrhagic complication. Angiography at 6-month follow-up showed the total obliteration in 20 aneurysms. Two aneurysms showed residuals and were recoiled. All STA grafts showed a good patency, and the mean graft flow was 124.2 ml/min. Conclusion: STA–MCA bypass in combination with endovascular exclusion is an appropriate option for patients with complex cerebral aneurysms that are not amenable to direct surgical clipping or endovascular embolization.

Abstract
The long-term stability of coil embolization (CE) of complex intracranial aneurysms (CIAs) is fraught with high rates of recanalization. Surgery of precoiled CIAs, however, deviates from a common straightforward procedure, demanding sophisticated strategies. To shed light on the scope and limitations of microsurgical re-treatment, we present our experiences with precoiled CIAs. We retrospectively analysed a consecutive series of 12 patients with precoiled CIAs treated microsurgically over a 5-year period, and provide a critical juxtaposition with the literature. Five aneurysms were located in the posterior circulation, 8 were large-giant sized, 5 were calcified/thrombosed. One presented as a dissecting-fusiform aneurysm, 9 ranked among wide neck aneurysms. Eight lesions were excluded by neck clipping (5 necessitating coil extraction); 1 requiring adjunct CE. The dissecting-fusiform aneurysm was resected with reconstruction of the parent artery using a radial artery graft. Three lesions were treated with flow alteration (parent artery occlusion under bypass protection). Mean interval coiling-surgery was 4.6 years (range 0.5-12 years). Overall, 10 aneurysms were successfully excluded; 2 lesions treated with flow alteration displayed partial thrombosis, progressing over time. Outcome was good in 8 and poor in 4 patients (2 experiencing delayed neurological morbidity), and mean follow-up was 24.3 months. No mortality was encountered. Microsurgery as a last resort for precoiled CIAs can provide-in a majority of cases-a definitive therapy with good outcome. Since repeat coiling increases the complexity of later surgical treatment, we recommend for this subgroup of aneurysms a critical evaluation of CE as an option for re-treatment.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE Because simple intracranial aneurysms (IAs) are increasingly treated endovascularly, neurovascular surgery has become focused on complex IAs that may require deconstructive aneurysm therapy with concomitant surgical bypass. The authors describe the decision-making process concerning cerebral revascularization and present outcomes that were achieved in a large case series of complex IAs managed with cerebral revascularization and parent artery occlusion. METHODS The authors retrospectively reviewed the medical records, including neuroimaging studies, operative reports, and follow-up clinic notes, of all patients who were treated at the National Brain Aneurysm Center between July 1997 and June 2015 using cerebral revascularization as part of the management of an IA. They recorded the location, rupture status, and size of each IA, as well as neurological outcome using the modified Rankin Scale (mRS), aneurysm and bypass status at follow-up, and morbidity and mortality. RESULTS The authors identified 126 patients who underwent revascularization surgery for 126 complex, atheromatous, calcified, or previously coiled aneurysms. Ninety-seven lesions (77.0%) were unruptured, and 99 (78.6%) were located in the anterior circulation. Aneurysm size was giant (≥ 25 mm) in 101 patients, large (10-24 mm) in 9, and small (≤ 9 mm) in 16 patients. Eighty-four low-flow bypasses were performed in 83 patients (65.9%). High-flow bypass was performed in 32 patients (25.4%). Eleven patients (8.7%) underwent in situ or intracranial-intracranial bypasses. Major morbidity (mRS score 4 or 5) occurred in 2 (2.4%) low-flow cases and 3 (9.1%) high-flow cases. Mortality occurred in 2 (2.4%) low-flow cases and 2 (6.1%) high-flow cases. At the 12-month follow-up, 83 (98.8%) low-flow and 30 (93.8%) high-flow bypasses were patent. Seventy-five patients (90.4%) undergoing low-flow and 28 (84.8%) high-flow bypasses had an mRS score ≤ 2. There were no statistically significant differences in patency rates or complications between low- and high-flow bypasses. CONCLUSIONS When treating challenging and complex IAs, incorporating revascularization strategies into the surgical repertoire may contribute to achieving favorable outcomes. In our series, low-flow bypass combined with isolated proximal or distal parent artery occlusion was associated with a low rate of ischemic complications while providing good long-term aneurysm control, potentially supporting its wider utilization in this setting. The authors suggest that consideration should be given to managing complex IAs at high-volume centers that offer a multidisciplinary team approach and the full spectrum of surgical and endovascular treatment options to optimize patient outcomes.

Abstract
Traumatic cerebral aneurysms are histologically dissecting aneurysms or pseudoaneurysms, thus requiring parent artery occlusion for cure. Combination of endovascular parent artery occlusion and extracranial-intracranial bypass is considered optimal to obtain complete obliteration of the aneurysm and to avoid hemodynamic hypoperfusion. However, endovascular parent artery occlusion of the supraclinoid internal carotid artery (ICA) is at risk of ischemic complications due to distal coil protrusion to adjacent perforating arteries or distal embolism of the thrombi generated in the coil mass. A 20-year-old man presented with progressive left optic neuropathy following motor vehicle accident. Radiological examination revealed left supraclinoid ICA aneurysmal formation with dissecting change. We treated this traumatic supraclinoid ICA aneurysm by combination of endovascular parent artery occlusion and high-flow bypass in the hybrid operating room. An aneurysmal clip was applied on the ICA just distal to the aneurysm prior to coil embolization, and worked as a scaffold for subsequent filling coils and as a blockade for the distal emboli. This "clip anchor-assisted coil embolization" technique resulted in optimal parent artery occlusion for the traumatic aneurysm of the supraclinoid ICA with minimal risks of residual blood flow, intraoperative rupture, and thromboembolic complications.

Abstract
The article describes the “bonnet” bypass, the type of extracranial-intracranial bypass. This technique is performed when ipsilateral arteries can’t be used as a donor when cerebral revascularization is required. The literature was analyzed and three main techniques of “bonnet” have been defined. The indications for performing “bonnet” bypass are determined, and the disadvantages are indicated. Alternative methods of revascularization are presented and technical details of graft protection are described. The “bonnet” bypass is a rare and laborious technique of cerebral revascularisation. However, it is an alternative and effective method of treatment to prevent serious ischemic disorders.
