Abstract
Cerebral AVMs have high flow, low resistance shunts that induce regional hemodynamic disturbances and possibly neural derangements. A better understanding of these mechanisms may help treatment planning and the management of complications after endovascular or surgical treatment. Although the precise mechanisms of hemodynamic perturbation are still relatively unclear, the presence of chronic cerebral hypoperfusion is central and widely believed to be associated with both neurological deficits at presentation (‘steal‘) and ‘hyperemic’ complications following shunt obliteration. The ‘normal perfusion pressure breakthrough‘ (NPPB) theory states that chronic hypoperfusion around AVMs induces the loss of autoregulatory capability; following AVM shunt obliteration, perfusion pressure elevation induces an increase in flow, due to ‘vasomotor paralysis’, which can cause hemorrhage. The ‘dissociative vasoparalysis' theory suggests that vasodilation is preserved but not vasoconstriction. However, pharmacologic exploration of cerebral autoregulation with induced vasoconstriction (phenylephrine) and vasodilatation (acetazolamide) helps identify 3 patterns of autoregulatory behavior. The vast majority of AVM patients appear to retain autoregulatory capability, despite low arterial feeding pressures, consistent with a “shift to the left” of the autoregulation curve. Pronounced hypotension may “exhaust” cerebrovascular reserve in some patients, predisposing to hemorrhagic complications in the post-operative period. Lastly, “vasoparalysis” may coexist with a combination of vascular insult and marked hypotension. Clinical presentation, AVM angioarchitecture and peri-operative physiologic data (especially feeding artery and venous outflow pressures) may assist patient management. Patients can be identified in whom staged treatment is recommended initially. Following AVM obliteration, the patient's hemodynamic response, which may range from a minimal increase in A-V pressure gradient to significant CBF increase may be predicted, and blood pressure, fluid and ICP management adjusted accordingly, as the monitoring of post-operative cerebral hemodynamics remains difficult. Extreme attention to endovascular and operative technique must be exercised, as technical problems can be devastating. Although incompletely understood, hemodynamic derangements associated with cerebral AVMs increasingly appear to be associated with intact cerebral autoregulation in most patients. As cerebral hemodynamics monitoring remains challenging, clinical, angiographic and physiologic data from interventional/operative monitoring must be used to guide patient management.

Evidence for a predominant intrinsic sympathetic control of cerebral blood flow alterations in an animal model of cerebral arteriovenous malformation. Transl Stroke Res 2010; 1:210-9. [PMID: 24323523 DOI: 10.1007/s12975-010-0021-9] [Citation(s) in RCA: 2] [Impact Index Per Article: 0.1] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 12/14/2009] [Revised: 02/18/2010] [Accepted: 03/22/2010] [Indexed: 10/19/2022]
Abstract
In terms of neurogenic cerebral blood flow (CBF) control, the activity of the sympathetic nervous system (SNS) has a regulating effect. The impact of a manipulation of both the peripheral (via the perivascular sympathetic net) and central components (via the intracortical noradrenergic terminals originating from the locus coeruleus) on CBF-and especially on hyperperfusion syndromes-is unclear. To test the specific patterns following such alterations, cortical oxygen saturation (rSO2), regional CBF (rCBF), and cortical interstitial norepinephrine (NE) concentrations were measured. Twelve weeks after either the creation of an extracranial AV fistula or sham operation, 80 male Sprague-Dawley rats underwent one of the following procedures: (1) no SNS manipulation, (2) peripheral SNS inhibition via bilateral sympathectomy, (3) central SNS inhibition via the neurotoxin DSP-4, or (4) complete SNS inhibition. Norepinephrine concentrations were lowest after complete inhibition (NE [nmol]: pre, 1.8 ± 1.2; post, 2.4 ± 1.8) and highest following peripheral inhibition (NE [nmol]: pre, 3.6 ± 1.9; post, 6.6 ± 4.4). Following fistula occlusion, rCBF (laser Doppler unit [LDU]) and rSO2 (%SO2) increases were highest after complete inhibition (pre: 204 ± 14 LDU, 34 ± 3%SO2; post: 228 ± 18 LDU, 39 ± 3%SO2) and lowest after peripheral inhibition (pre: 221 ± 18 LDU, 41 ± 2%SO2; post: 226 ± 14 LDU, 47 ± 2%SO2). Thus, a complete inhibition down-regulates SNS activity and provokes a cortical hyperperfusion condition. With this, the hitherto unknown predominant role of the intrinsic component could be demonstrated for the first time in vivo.

Abstract
The major efforts to selectively deliver drugs to the brain in the past decade have relied on smart molecular techniques to penetrate the blood-brain barrier, whereas intraarterial drug delivery has drawn relatively little attention. Meanwhile, rapid progress has been made in the field of endovascular surgery. Modern endovascular procedures can permit highly targeted drug delivery by the intracarotid route. Intracarotid drug delivery can be the primary route of drug delivery or it could be used to facilitate the delivery of smart neuropharmaceuticals. There have been few attempts to systematically understand the kinetics of intracarotid drugs. Anecdotal data suggest that intracarotid drug delivery is effective in the treatment of cerebral vasospasm, thromboembolic strokes, and neoplasms. Neuroanesthesiologists are frequently involved in the care of such high-risk patients. Therefore, it is necessary to understand the applications of intracarotid drug delivery and the unusual kinetics of intracarotid drugs.

Abstract
The therapeutic potential of intra-arterial (IA) drug delivery to the brain has received limited attention in the last decade. In the 1980s, efforts to treat brain tumors with IA chemotherapy, the leading application of this technology, yielded modest results. Poor control of tissue drug concentrations and the potential risk of permanent neurologic injury further prevented the wider use of IA drugs. Yet, IA drugs were anecdotally used for treating a wide spectrum of brain diseases. Recent advances in endovascular technology and the increased safety of angiographic procedures now compel us to reevaluate IA drug delivery. This review describes the pharmacologic principles, applications, and pitfalls of IA drug delivery to the brain.

Abstract
BACKGROUND AND PURPOSE The aim of this study was to test the hypothesis that patterns of cerebrovascular reactivity (CVR) in the vicinity of cerebral arteriovenous malformations (AVMs) before and after resection are not specific for this disease. METHODS With a microspectrophotometer, cortical oxygen saturation (So2) was measured under steady-state conditions (Paco2, 33 mm Hg) before and after removal of 22 AVMs and in 30 control subjects before and after transsylvian amygdalohippocampectomy. Intraoperative vasoreactivity tests were performed by induced changes of end-tidal CO2 (25, 45, and 25 mm Hg) with simultaneous recording of local So2 in all patients. CVR patterns were established by linear regression analysis (P<0.05) to define parallel (positive) versus inverse (negative) behavior, and reactivity indexes were calculated to define their degree. RESULTS Cortical oxygenation under steady-state conditions increased significantly (P<0.05) from preoperative to postoperative levels equally in both groups (preoperative AVM, 54.8+/-10.4%So2; postoperative AVM, 73.1+/-10.1%So2; preoperative control, 52.7+/-9.1%So2; postoperative control, 73.6+/-8.9%So2). The rate of inverse CVR patterns increased significantly (P<0.05) from before to after resection without showing statistically significant differences between groups. CONCLUSIONS Local CVR patterns on presumably normal human cortex of control subjects are heterogeneous, including inverse behavior, and are similar to those of AVM patients before surgery. After surgery, cortical hyperemia is present in both groups, and a significant increase in inverse reactivity patterns interpreted as microvascular steal is noted. An AVM-specific CVR pattern could not convincingly be proved.

Abstract
PURPOSE To determine whether the blood flow abnormalities frequently associated with arteriovenous malformations (AVMs) can alter functional magnetic resonance (MR) imaging evaluation of language lateralization and whether reorganization of language function occurs in patients with brain AVMs. MATERIALS AND METHODS Eleven patients with left-hemisphere brain AVMs and 10 age-matched control subjects were examined with 1.5-T blood oxygen level-dependent (BOLD) functional MR imaging. Verbal fluency, sentence repetition, and story listening tasks were performed. The functional MR imaging laterality index in the frontal and temporal lobes was defined as the (L - R)/(L + R) ratio, where L and R are the numbers of activated pixels in the left and right hemispheres, respectively. Statistical analyses were performed with Wilcoxon signed rank, Fisher exact, and Kruskal-Wallis tests. RESULTS Control subjects had left-sided language dominance, although symmetric pixel counts were observed in the frontal lobes in two subjects and in the temporal lobes in one subject. Six patients had left-sided language dominance similar to that observed in control subjects. Five of these patients had AVMs outside frontal or temporal language areas, without flow abnormalities. Five patients had abnormally right-sided asymmetric indexes (below mean control subject value - 2 SDs), which suggested language reorganization (P <.05). Results of Wada examination and/or postembolization functional MR imaging performed in two of these patients showed that the abnormal laterality indexes were at least partly due to severe flow abnormalities that impaired detection of BOLD MR imaging signal intensity. CONCLUSION These data suggest that flow abnormalities may interfere with language lateralization assessment with functional MR imaging.

Abstract
Interventional neuroradiologic procedure represents treatment of central nervous system disease by endovascular access for the purpose of delivering therapeutic agents, including both drugs and devices. For optimal anesthetic management, anesthesiologists should be familiar with specific radiological procedures and their potential complications. This article provides a brief overview of special considerations in conducting general anesthesia, sedation, and cerebral hemodynamic monitoring for patients undergoing interventional neuroradiologic procedures.

Abstract
The authors tested the hypothesis that cerebral blood flow (CBF) would increase after acute and relatively brief internal carotid artery (ICA) test occlusion, and examined the relationship of the postdeflation CBF to the development of neurologic symptoms. In 16 patients undergoing ICA test occlusion with deliberate hypotension, the authors measured intracarotid 133Xe CBF at baseline, occlusion, and deflation. Four patients developed neurologic symptoms during occlusion. As positive controls, 11 other patients received intracarotid verapamil or papaverine before deflation as part of another protocol. Balloon occlusion was 23.1 +/- 10.5 minutes (mean +/- standard deviation) in duration. At 1.3 +/- 1.6 minutes after balloon deflation, there was a trend (12 +/- 31%) for CBF to increase (48 +/- 9 mL/100 g/min versus 53 +/- 17 mL/100 g/min, P =.15), and a 16 +/- 27% decrease in cerebrovascular resistance (CVR; 2.1 +/- 0.6 mm Hg/100 g/min/mL versus 1.7 +/- 0.6 mm Hg/100 g/min/mL, P =.03) compared with baseline values. By comparison, patients who received a intracarotid dilator demonstrated a 53 +/- 55% increase in CBF (48 +/- 10 mL/100/min versus 70 +/- 23 mL/100 g/min, P = .007) and a 33 +/- 31% decrease in CVR (2.2 +/- 0.6 mm Hg/100 g/min/mL versus 1.4 +/- 0.6 mm Hg/100 g/min/mL, P = .0007) compared with baseline. Analysis of variance and regression analysis showed no other relationships between postocclusion CBF and balloon occlusion duration, distal internal carotid occlusion ("stump") pressure, or the development of neurologic symptoms. Acute, temporary interruption of ICA blood flow resulted in minimal postocclusive changes in cerebrovascular hemodynamics, even in those patients who developed neurologic symptoms during the period of test occlusion.

Abstract
This study assessed the feasibility of augmenting cerebral blood flow (CBF) and decreasing hemispheric cerebrovascular resistance (CVR) by intracarotid papaverine during acute cerebral hypotension. Awake patients (n = 10) undergoing transfemoral balloon occlusion of an internal carotid artery (ICA) with nitroprusside (SNP)-induced systemic hypotension (10% reduction of mean arterial pressure) were studied. We measured mean femoral artery pressure (MAP), mean distal ICA pressure (P(ica)), and CBF (intracarotid 133Xe) at two time points: before and after intracarotid papaverine infusion (1 or 7 mg/min). Two patients became symptomatic immediately after ICA occlusion and were excluded. One patient developed a focal seizure during papaverine infusion. In another, the occlusion balloon deflated prematurely. Of the remaining six patients, two of the three patients who received high-dose papaverine (7 mg/min) developed transient obtundation. The remaining three patients, who received low-dose papaverine (1 mg/min), did not develop any neurologic symptoms. There was a trend for intracarotid papaverine to increase hemispheric CBF by 36% (33 +/- 10 versus 45 +/- 22 ml x 100 g(-1) x min(-1), P = .084, n = 6); papaverine decreased CVR from 1.3 +/- 0.4 to 1.0 +/- 0.3 mm Hg x ml(-1) x 100 g(-1) x min(-1) (P = .049). There was no significant change in heart rate, MAP, or P(ica) during experimental protocol. Manipulation of CVR by intracarotid papaverine during acute hemispheric arterial hypotension appears to be feasible. Further studies are needed to establish safety and efficacy.

Abstract
Neuroradiologists have extended their treatment modalities in the field of vascular neurosurgery. The rapidly emerging and re-engineered neuroradiological techniques confront the anaesthetist with an increasing number of patients with severe neurological disease. More of these patients will need general anaesthesia in order to facilitate the endovascular procedure, including catheter placement, deposition of embolic material, and improved imaging. Anaesthetists are challenged by additional anaesthesiological aspects previously not encountered in neuroanaesthesia. A safe anaesthetic management is based on a broad understanding of pathophysiological and technical issues that arise with the endovascular treatment of cerebral vasculopathy.

Abstract
BACKGROUND AND PURPOSE To test the hypothesis that neither "steal" as cortical ischemia caused by reduced perfusion pressure nor "breakthrough" on the grounds of loss of pressure autoregulation exist in brain tissue surrounding arteriovenous malformations (AVMs), we established patterns of cortical oxygen saturation (SO(2)) adjacent to AVMs and its behavior after alterations of mean arterial blood pressure. METHODS With a microspectrophotometer, SO(2) was scanned in the cortex around AVMs of 44 patients before and after resection and in that of a non-AVM group (n=42) before transsylvian dissection. Autoregulation was evaluated by linear regression analysis after elevation of mean arterial blood pressure (5 microg/min IV noradrenaline). SO(2) values were calculated as medians, percentage of critical values (<25% SO(2)), and coefficients of variance (approximate heterogeneity of SO(2) distributions). All values are given as mean+/-SD. RESULTS Forty patients with AVM had an uneventful postoperative course (group A). Four hyperemic complications ("breakthrough") occurred (group B). Autoregulation was tested intact in all groups at all times. Preoperative SO(2) distributions in groups A and C (non-AVMs) were identical. In group B, significantly (P<0.05) lower medians (group A, 52.9+/-16.3%; group B, 44.2+/-17.1%; group C, 51.9+/-11.5% SO(2)), more critical values (group A, 6.5+/-5.1%; group B, 14.7+/-11.1%; group C, 7.1+/-4.9%), and heterogeneous SO(2) distributions (group A, 20.2+/-12.7%; group B, 27.9+/-12.4%; group C, 26.8+/-10.9%) were seen. Increase of median values was significantly higher in group B (76.3+/-10.4% SO(2)) than in group A (65.9+/-13.4% SO(2)) after resection. CONCLUSIONS Severely hypoxic areas are uncommon in the cortex adjacent to AVMs and occur predominantly in patients prone to hyperemic complications. Reduced perfusion pressure is compensated in most cases, and moderate hyperemia prevails after excision. Reperfusion into unprotected capillaries of severely hypoxic cortical areas results in "breakthrough," for which vasoparalysis appears not to be the underlying mechanism.

Abstract
UNLABELLED To assess the feasibility of manipulating human cerebrovascular resistance with adenosine, we measured cerebral blood flow (CBF) by determining the initial slope (IS) of tracer washout 20-80 s after intracarotid 133Xe injection (standard IS) during sequential 3-min intracarotid infusions of (a) saline; (b) adenosine 1.2-mg bolus followed by an infusion of 1 mg/min (bolus + infusion); (c) saline; and (d) nicardipine (0.1 mg/min). During 133Xe washout, adenosine caused a rapidly clearing compartment. Therefore, tracer washout was also analyzed 5-25 s after injection (early IS). Nicardipine (n = 8) increased both standard IS (from 39+/-12 to 53+/-16 mL 100g.min(-1); P < 0.005) and early IS (from 40+/-9 to 55+/-20 arbitrary units; P < 0.02) to a similar degree. Adenosine bolus + infusion increased early IS (from 33+/-6 to 82+/-43 arbitrary units; P < 0.02) but did not increase standard IS (from 41+/-12 to 43 +/-16 mL 100g(-1) min(-1)). Standard and early IS values were then determined before and after adenosine delivered either by infusion alone (2 mg/min for 3 min, n = 5) or bolus alone (2 mg in 1 s, n = 3). Neither standard nor early IS changed after adenosine infusion alone. Early IS increased after adenosine bolus alone. Increase in early IS, but not standard IS, suggests a transient (<30 s) increase in CBF. IMPLICATIONS Intracarotid adenosine, in the 1- to 2-mg dose range, may cause a transient, but not a sustained, increase in cerebral blood flow. Intracarotid adenosine in such a dose range does not seem to be an appropriate drug for sustained manipulation of cerebrovascular resistance.

Abstract
UNLABELLED Occlusion of the internal carotid artery (ICA) results in acute cerebral hypotension. We hypothesized that during acute cerebral hypotension, in addition to physiological autoregulation, further arteriolar relaxation is possible by pharmacological means. We tested the feasibility of using intracarotid verapamil, a calcium channel blocker, to decrease the cerebrovascular resistance (CVR) and augment cerebral blood flow (CBF) at low postocclusion distal ICA pressures (PICA). Eleven patients undergoing trial occlusion of ICA were enrolled. Distal ICA or stump pressure, hemispheric CBF, and CVR were determined before and after carotid occlusion. During ICA occlusion, CBF and other physiological variables were determined before and after intracarotid verapamil. Two patients were excluded from the study. Carotid occlusion (n = 9) significantly decreased PICA (mean +/- SD, from 82 +/- 22 to 46 +/- 11 mm Hg, P = 0.001) and CBF (from 42 +/- 11 to 33 +/- 11 mL.100 g-1.min-1, P < 0.05). During occlusion, after intracarotid verapamil (3.9 +/- 1.6 mg), hemispheric CBF tended to increase from 31 +/- 11 to 35 +/- 14 mL.100 g-1.min-1 (P = 0.067). However, the percent increase in CBF after verapamil was a linear function of PICA (y = 1.01 x -32, n = 9, r2 = 0.84, P = 0.006). The decrease in CBF during carotid occlusion suggests that near maximal cerebral autoregulatory vasodilation had occurred, although our results indicate that it may be feasible to further augment CBF by pharmacological means during acute cerebral hypotension. IMPLICATIONS When the internal carotid artery is occluded during neurosurgical procedures, there may be a significant reduction in cerebral perfusion. The authors have demonstrated that the intraarterial administration of verapamil increases cerebral blood flow as a linear function of cerebral artery pressure. Intracarotid injection of vasodilators may augment cerebral blood flow during acute cerebral hypotension.

Abstract
A comprehensive computer model of the cerebral circulation, based on both hydrodynamics and electrical network analysis, was used to investigate the influences of arteriovenous malformations (AVM) on regional cerebral hemodynamics. The basic model contained 114 normal compartments: 55 arteries, 37 veins, 20 microvessel groups (MVG), one compartment representing systemic and extracranial vascular resistance, and one representing the heart. Each microvessel group, which represented the arteriolar bed, consisted of 5000 microvessels. Cerebral blood flow autoregulation was simulated by a formula that determined the resistance and therefore the flow rate of the microvessel groups (arterioles) as a function of perfusion pressure. Elasticity was introduced to describe the compliance of each vessel. Flow rate was made a controlling factor for the positive regulation of the diameters of conductance vessels by calculation of shear stress on the vessel wall (vessel dilation). Models containing an AVM were constructed by adding an AVM compartment and its feeding arteries and draining veins. In addition to the basic model, AVM models were simulated with and without autoregulation and flow-induced conductance vessel dilation to evaluate the contributions of these factors on cerebral hemodynamics. Results for the model with vessel dilation were more similar to clinical observations than those without vessel dilation. Even in the presence of total vasoparalysis of the arteriolar bed equivalent, obliteration of a large (1000 mL/min) shunt flow AVM resulted in a near-field CBF increase from a baseline of 21 to a post-occlusion value of no more than 74 mL/100 g/min, casting doubt on a purely hemodynamic basis for severe hyperemia after treatment. The results of the simulations suggest that our model may be a useful tool to study hemodynamic problems of the cerebral circulation.

Abstract
BACKGROUND AND PURPOSE The mechanism of adaptation to chronic cerebral hypotension in normal brain adjacent to cerebral arteriovenous malformations (AVMs) is unknown. To clarify these mechanisms, we performed cerebral blood flow (CBF) studies in structurally and functionally normal vascular territories during 53 distal cerebral angiographic procedures in 37 patients with AVMs. METHODS CBF was measured using the superselective intra-arterial 133Xe method before and after a 3-minute infusion of either verapamil (1 mg.min-1, n = 23), acetylcholine (1.33 micrograms.kg-1.min-1, n = 7), nitroprusside (0.5 microgram.kg-1.min-1, n = 16) or nitroglycerin (0.5 microgram.kg-1.min-1, n = 7). RESULTS Mean +/- SD systemic (76 +/- 13 mm Hg) and distal cerebral arterial (55 +/- 16 mm Hg; range, 20 to 97 mm Hg) pressures were not different among groups. Verapamil increased CBF (45 +/- 12 to 65 +/- 21 mL.100 g-1.min-1, P < .001). There was no effect of acetylcholine (no change [46 +/- 9 to 46 +/- 9 mL.100 g-1.min-1], NS) or nitroglycerin (36 +/- 14 to 36 +/- 13 mL.100 g-1.min-1, NS). Nitroprusside decreased CBF (40 +/- 12 to 31 +/- 11 mL.100 g-1.min-1, P < .001). The percent change in CBF after drug administration was proportional to cerebral arterial pressure for verapamil only (r = .57, P = .0051). CONCLUSIONS When infused intra-arterially in clinically relevant doses in both hypotensive and normotensive normal vascular territories remote from an AVM nidus, calcium channel blockade caused vasodilation, but there was an absence of response to nitric oxide-mediated vasodilators. These data suggest that (1) the nitric oxide pathway probably is not involved in the adaptation to chronic cerebral hypotension in AVM patients and (2) if our findings in vessels remote from or contralateral to the AVM are applicable to vessels of patients with other forms of cerebrovascular disease, clinically relevant doses of intra-arterial nitrovasodilators may not be useful in the manipulation of cerebrovascular resistance.
