Abstract
Here, we describe a series of 7 patients who presented with acute paraparesis due to anterior communicating artery aneurysm rupture. This study aimed to assess the clinical and radiological factors associated with acute paraparesis syndrome caused by subarachnoid hemorrhage (SAH).Between June 2005 and December 2012, our institution consecutively treated 210 patients with anterior communicating aneurysm rupture within 24 hours after ictus. We divided the patients into 2 groups based on the presence (n = 7) and absence (n = 203) of acute paraparesis after anterior communicating aneurysm rupture.Diffusion-weighted magnetic resonance imaging revealed high intensity in the medial aspects of the bilateral frontal lobes in 3 patients. The mean third ventricular distance at the time of admission was 9.2 mm (range, 8-12.5 mm), and the mean bicaudate distance was 33.9 mm (range, 24-39 mm). There was a significant difference in the bicaudate distance (P = .001) and third ventricle distance (P = .001) between the 2 groups. Acute hydrocephalus and global cerebral edema (GCE) were confirmed radiologically in all patients in the acute paraparesis group. The presence of acute hydrocephalus (P = .001) and GCE (P = .003) were significantly different between the groups.Acute paraparesis syndrome after SAH is transient and gradually improves if the patient does not develop severe vasospasm. The present study demonstrates that acute paraparesis after SAH is associated with acute hydrocephalus and GCE.

Abstract
Accurately predicting clinical outcome of aneurysmal subarachnoid hemorrhage (aSAH) patients is difficult. The purpose of this study was to develop and test a new fully-automated computer-aided detection (CAD) scheme of brain computed tomography (CT) images to predict prognosis of aSAH patients. A retrospective dataset of 59 aSAH patients was assembled. Each patient had 2 sets of CT images acquired at admission and prior-to-discharge. CAD scheme was applied to segment intracranial brain regions into four subregions, namely, cerebrospinal fluid (CSF), white matter (WM), gray matter (GM), and leaked extraparenchymal blood (EPB), respectively. CAD then detects sulci and computes 9 image features related to 5 volumes of the segmented sulci, EPB, CSF, WM, and GM and 4 volumetrical ratios to sulci. Subsequently, applying a leave-one-case-out cross-validation method embedded with a principal component analysis (PCA) algorithm to generate optimal feature vector, 16 support vector machine (SVM) models were built using CT images acquired either at admission or prior-to-discharge to predict each of eight clinically relevant parameters commonly used to assess patients' prognosis. Finally, a receiver operating characteristics (ROC) method was used to evaluate SVM model performance. Areas under ROC curves of 16 SVM models range from 0.62 ± 0.07 to 0.86 ± 0.07. In general, SVM models trained using CT images acquired at admission yielded higher accuracy to predict short-term clinical outcomes, while SVM models trained using CT images acquired prior-to-discharge demonstrated higher accuracy in predicting long-term clinical outcomes. This study demonstrates feasibility to predict prognosis of aSAH patients using new quantitative image markers generated by SVM models.

Abstract
BACKGROUND AND PURPOSE Historically, overall outcomes for patients with high-grade subarachnoid hemorrhage (SAH) have been poor. Generally, between physicians, either reluctance to treat, or selectivity in treating such patients has been the paradigm. Recent studies have shown that early and aggressive care leads to significant improvement in survival rates and favorable outcomes of grade V SAH patients. With advancements in both neurocritical care and end-of-life care, non-treatment or selective treatment of grade V SAH patients is rarely justified. Current paradigm shifts towards early and aggressive care in such cases may lead to improved outcomes for many more patients. MATERIALS AND METHODS We performed a detailed review of the current literature regarding neurointensive management strategies in high-grade SAH, discussing multiple aspects. We discussed the neurointensive care management protocols for grade V SAH patients. RESULTS Acutely, intracranial pressure control is of utmost importance with external ventricular drain placement, sedation, optimization of cerebral perfusion pressure, osmotherapy and hyperventilation, as well as cardiopulmonary support through management of hypotension and hypertension. CONCLUSIONS Advancements of care in SAH patients make it unethical to deny treatment to poor Hunt and Hess grade patients. Early and aggressive treatment results in a significant improvement in survival rate and favorable outcome in such patients.

Abstract
Cerebral vasospasm (VS) and delayed cerebral ischemia (DCI) are important complications of aneurysmal subarachnoid hemorrhage (ASAH). Imaging approaches to VS monitoring include noninvasive bedside assessment with transcranial Doppler ultrasonography, angiographic evaluation with digital subtraction angiography, and computed tomography (CT) angiography. DCI is a clinical diagnosis and is not fully explained by the presence of angiographic VS. CT perfusion has shown clinical utility and implications for future research in the evaluation of DCI in patients with ASAH. This review article discusses the common approaches to diagnosis and monitoring of VS and DCI, current treatment strategies, and future research directions.

Abstract
AIM To evaluate the feasibility and potential value of two-dimensional (2D) parametric parenchymal blood flow (2D-PPBF) for the assessment of perfusion changes during transarterial chemoembolisation with drug-eluting beads (DEB-TACE) and to analyse correlations of 2D-PPBF parameters and tumour response. MATERIALS AND METHODS Thirty-two patients (six women, 26 men, mean age: 67±8.9 years) with unresectable hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) who underwent their first DEB-TACE were included in this study. To quantify perfusion changes using 2D-PPBF, the acquired digital subtraction angiography (DSA) series were post-processed. Ratios were calculated between the reference region of interest (ROI) and the wash-in rate (WIR), the arrival to peak (AP) and the area under the curve (AUC) of the generated time-density curves. Comparisons between pre- and post-embolisation data were made using the Wilcoxon signed-rank test. Tumour response was assessed at 3 months using the modified Response Evaluation Criteria in Solid Tumours (mRECIST) and correlated to changes of 2D-PPBF parameters. RESULTS All 2D-PPBF parameters derived from the ROI-based time-attenuation curves were significantly different pre-versus post-DEB-TACE. Although the AUC, the WIR and target lesion size measured in accordance with mRECIST decreased (p≤0.0001) significantly, AP values showed a significant increase (p = 0.0033). Tumour response after DEB-TACE correlated with changes in the AUC (p = 0.01, r = -0.45). CONCLUSION 2D-PPBF offers an objective approach to analyse perfusion changes of embolised tumour tissue following DEB-TACE and can therefore be used to predict tumour response.

Abstract
Purpose To evaluate the feasibility of 2D-perfusion angiography (2D-PA) for the analysis of intra-procedural treatment response after intra-arterial prostaglandin E1 therapy in patients with non-occlusive mesenteric ischemia (NOMI). Methods Overall, 20 procedures in 18 NOMI patients were included in this retrospective case–control study. To evaluate intra-procedural splanchnic circulation changes, post-processing of digital subtraction angiography (DSA) series was performed. Regions of interest (ROIs) were placed in the superior mesenteric artery (SMA; reference), the portal vein (PV; ROIPV), as well as the aorta next to the origin of the SMA (ROIAorta). Peak density (PD), time to peak (TTP), and area under the curve (AUC) were assessed, and parametric ratios ‘target ROIPD, TTP, AUC/reference ROI’ were computed and compared within treatment and control group. Additionally, a NOMI score was assessed pre- and post-treatment compared to 2D-PA. Results Vasodilator therapy leads to a significant decrease of the 2D-PA-derived values PDAorta (p = 0.04) and AUCAorta (p = 0.03). These findings correlated with changes of the simplified NOMI score, both for overall (4 to 1, p < 0.0001) and for each category. Prostaglandin application caused a significant increase of the AUCPV (p = 0.04) and TTPPV was accelerated without reaching statistical significance (p = 0.13). When compared to a control group, all 2D-PA values in the NOMI group (pre- and post-intervention) differed significantly (p < 0.05) with longer TTPAorta/PV and lower AUCAorta/PV and PD Aorta/PV. Conclusion 2D-PA offers an objective approach to analyze immediate flow and perfusion changes following vasodilatory therapies of NOMI patients and may be a valuable tool for assessing treatment response.

Abstract
AIM To evaluate the feasibility of two-dimensional parametric parenchymal blood flow (2D-PPBF) to quantify perfusion changes in the lung parenchyma following balloon pulmonary angioplasty (BPA) for treatment of chronic thromboembolic pulmonary hypertension. MATERIALS AND METHODS Overall, 35 consecutive interventions in 18 patients with 98 treated pulmonary arteries were included. To quantify changes in pulmonary blood flow using 2D-PPBF, the acquired digital subtraction angiography (DSA) series were post-processed using dedicated software. A reference region of interest (ROI; arterial inflow) in the treated pulmonary artery and a distal target ROI, including the whole lung parenchyma distal to the targeted stenosis, were placed in corresponding areas on DSA pre- and post-BPA. Half-peak density (HPD), wash-in rate (WIR), arrival to peak (AP), area under the curve (AUC), and mean transit time (MTT) were assessed. The ratios of the reference ROI to the target ROI (HPDparenchyma/HPDinflow, WIRparenchyma/WIRinflow; APparenchyma/APinflow, AUCparenchyma/AUCinflow, MTTparenchyma/MTTinflow) were calculated. The relative differences of the 2D-PPBF parameters were correlated to changes in the pulmonary flow grade score. RESULTS The pulmonary flow grade score improved significantly after BPA (1 versus 3; p<0.0001). Likewise, the mean HPDparenchyma/HPDinflow (-10.2%; p<0.0001), APparenchyma/APinflow (-24.4%; p=0.0007), and MTTparenchyma/MTTinflow (-3.5%; p=0.0449) decreased significantly, whereas WIRparenchyma/WIRinflow (+82.4%) and AUCparenchyma/AUCinflow (+58.6%) showed a significant increase (p<0.0001). Furthermore, a significant correlation between changes of the pulmonary flow grade score and changes of HPDparenchyma/HPDinflow (ρ=-0.21, p=0.04), WIRparenchyma/WIRinflow (ρ=0.43, p<0.0001), APparenchyma/APinflow (ρ=-0.22, p=0.03), AUCparenchyma/AUCinflow (ρ=0.48, p<0.0001), and MTTparenchyma/MTTinflow (ρ=-0.39, p<0.0001) could be observed. CONCLUSION The 2D-PPBF technique is feasible for the quantification of perfusion changes following BPA and has the potential to improve monitoring of BPA.

Abstract
PURPOSE To analyze the feasibility of 2D-perfusion angiography (2D-PA) to quantify flow and perfusion changes pre- and post-transjugular intrahepatic portosystemic shunt (TIPS) revision. MATERIALS AND METHODS Fifteen consecutive patients (54 ± 14 years, seven men and eight women) scheduled for TIPS revision were included in this study. To quantify flow and perfusion changes caused by TIPS revision, digital subtraction angiography (DSA) series acquired during the revision were post-processed using a dedicated software. Reference region-of-interest (ROI) in the main portal vein (input function) and target ROIs in the TIPS lumen, the liver parenchyma and in the right atrium were placed in corresponding areas on DSA pre- and post-TIPS revision. 2D-PA evaluation included time to peak (TTP), peak density (PD), and the area under the curve (AUC) assessment. The ratios of reference ROI to target ROIs pre- and post-TIPS revision were calculated (TTPparenchyma/TTPinflow, PDparenchyma/PDinflow, AUCparenchyma/AUCinflow, TTPTIPS/TTPinflow, PDTIPS/PDinflow, AUCTIPS/AUCinflow, TTPatrium/TTPinflow, PDatrium/PDinflow, and AUCatrium/AUCinflow). Pressure measurements pre- and post-TIPS revision were performed and correlated to the 2D-PA parameters. Reproducibility of 2D-PA was assessed by the intra-class correlation coefficient (ICC). RESULTS The portosystemic pressure gradient was significantly reduced following TIPS revision (17.1 ± 6.3 vs. 8.9 ± 4.3 mmHg; p < 0.0001). PDTIPS/PDinflow (0.22 vs. 0.35; p = 0.0014) and AUCTIPS/AUCinflow (0.24 vs. 0.39; p = 0.0012) increased significantly. Likewise, PDatrium/PDinflow (0.32 vs. 0.78; p = 0.0004) and AUCatrium/AUCinflow (0.3 vs. 0.79; p < 0.0001) increased, whereas PDparenchyma/PDinflow decreased significantly (0.14 vs. 0.1; p = 0.0084). Pressure gradient changes correlated significantly with the increase in PDatrium/PDinflow (r = - 0.77, p = 0.0012) and AUCatrium/AUCinflow (r = - 0.76, p = 0.0018). ICC of the 2D-PA parameters was in the range of 0.88-0.99. CONCLUSION 2D-PA offers a feasible approach to quantify flow and perfusion changes during TIPS revision. Therefore, 2D-PA may be a valuable amendment to mere pressure measurements.

Abstract
PURPOSE To analyze the feasibility of 2D-perfusion angiography (2D-PA) for the quantification of perfusion reduction following transarterial chemoembolization with drug-eluting beads (DEB-TACE). METHODS Overall, 24 DEB-TACE procedures in 19 patients were included. To quantify changes in tumor perfusion following DEB-TACE using 2D-PA, the acquired digital subtraction angiography (DSA) series were post-processed. A reference region-of-interest (ROI) in a main hepatic artery and two, distal target ROIs in embolized tumor tissue and in non-target liver parenchyma were placed in corresponding areas on DSA pre- and post-DEB-TACE. The time to peak (TTP), peak density (PD), and the area under the curve (AUC) were assessed and the ratios reference ROI/target ROIs were calculated. RESULTS In the embolized tumor, the 2D-PA ratios changed significantly (p < 0.05) after DEB-TACE, whereas no significant change was observed for non-target liver parenchyma (p > 0.05). PDtumor/PDinflow differed significantly to PDparenchyma/PDinflow pre-DEB-TACE (p < 0.0001), likewise AUCtumor/AUCinflow to AUCparenchyma/AUCinflow (p < 0.0001) with higher values in tumor tissue. The post-DEB-TACE ratios of AUC decreased significantly in the tumor tissue compared to the non-target liver parenchyma (p < 0.05). CONCLUSION 2D-PA offers an objective approach to quantify the immediate perfusion reduction of embolized tumor tissue following DEB-TACE and may therefore be used to monitor peri-interventional stasis and to quantify technical success.

Abstract
A growing body of clinical literature emphasizes the impact of cerebral edema in early brain injury following aneurysmal subarachnoid hemorrhage (aSAH). Aneurysm rupture itself initiates global cerebral edema in up to two thirds of cases. Although cerebral edema is not a universal feature of aSAH, it portends a poor clinical course, with quantitative analysis revealing a direct correlation between cerebral edema and poor outcome, including mortality and cognitive deficits. Mechanistically, global cerebral edema has been linked to global ischemia at the time of aneurysm rupture, dysfunction of autoregulation, blood breakdown products, neuroinflammation, and hyponatremia/endocrine abnormalities. At a molecular level, several culprits have been identified, including aquaporin-4, matrix metalloproteinase-9, SUR1-TRPM4 cation channels, vascular endothelial growth factor, bradykinin, and others. Here, we review these cellular and molecular mechanisms of global cerebral edema formation in aSAH. Given the importance of edema to the outcome of patients with aSAH and its status as a highly modifiable pathological process, a better understanding of cerebral edema in aSAH promises to hasten the development of medical therapies to improve outcomes in this frequently devastating disease.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Delayed cerebral ischemia after aneurysmal subarachnoid hemorrhage is characterized by a highly complex pathophysiology and results in neurologic deterioration after the inciting bleed. Despite its significant consequences, prompt diagnosis can be elusive and treatment is often administered too late. Early brain injury, which occurs within the first 72 hours after ictus, may be an important factor for delayed cerebral ischemia and poor overall outcome. Here, we explore the purported clinical and pathologic manifestations of early brain injury to identify biomarkers that could have prognostic value. METHODS We review the literature and discuss potential emerging markers of delayed cerebral ischemia in the context of early brain injury. RESULTS The following clinical features and biomarkers were examined: global cerebral edema, ictal loss of consciousness, ultra early angiographic vasospasm, continuous electroencephalogram monitoring, systemic inflammatory response syndrome, cellular mediators of the inflammatory response, and hematologic derangements. CONCLUSIONS Some of these markers possess independent value for determining the risk of complications after aneurysmal subarachnoid hemorrhage. However, their use is limited because of a variety of factors, but they do provide an avenue of further study to aid in diagnosis and management.

Chronic thromboembolic pulmonary hypertension: Evaluation of 2D-perfusion angiography in patients who undergo balloon pulmonary angioplasty. Eur Radiol 2017; 27:4264-4270. [PMID: 28361177 DOI: 10.1007/s00330-017-4806-z] [Citation(s) in RCA: 22] [Impact Index Per Article: 3.1] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 12/19/2016] [Revised: 02/27/2017] [Accepted: 03/13/2017] [Indexed: 12/18/2022]
Abstract
OBJECTIVE To evaluate the feasibility of 2D-perfusion angiography (2D-PA) in order to quantify perfusion changes of the lung parenchyma pre- and post-balloon pulmonary angioplasty (BPA). METHODS Thirty consecutive interventions in 16 patients with 99 treated pulmonary artery segments were included. To quantify changes in pulmonary blood flow using 2D-PA, the acquired digital subtraction angiographies (DSA) pre- and post-BPA were post-processed. A reference ROI in the treated pulmonary artery and a distal target ROI in the lung parenchyma were placed in corresponding areas on DSA pre- and post-BPA. Time to peak (TTP), peak density (PD) and area under the curve (AUC) were assessed. The ratios reference ROI to target ROI (TTPparenchyma/TTPinflow; PDparenchyma/PDinflow; AUCparenchyma/AUCinflow) were calculated. Relative differences of the 2D-PA parameters were correlated to changes in the pulmonary-flow-grade-score. RESULTS The pulmonary-flow-grade-score improved after BPA (p<0.0001). Likewise, the ratio TTPparenchyma/TTPinflow shortened by 10% (p=0.0002), the PDparenchyma/PDinflow increased by 46% (p<0.0001) and the AUCparenchyma/AUCinflow increased by 36% (p<0.0001). A significant correlation between changes in the pulmonary-flow-grade-score and changes in PDparenchyma/PDinflow (ρ=0.48, p<0.0001) and AUCparenchyma/AUCinflow (ρ=0.31, p=0.0018) was observed. CONCLUSION Quantification of pulmonary perfusion pre- and post-BPA using 2D-PA is feasible and has the potential to improve monitoring of BPA. KEY POINTS • Quantification of BPA results by use of 2D-PA is feasible. • 2D-PA allows objective assessment of changes in lung parenchymal perfusion. • 2D-PA has the potential to optimize BPA.

Abstract
BACKGROUND AND PURPOSE Blood-brain barrier permeability is not routinely evaluated in the clinical setting. Global cerebral edema occurs after SAH and is associated with BBB disruption. Detection of global cerebral edema using current imaging techniques is challenging. Our purpose was to apply blood-brain barrier permeability imaging in patients with global cerebral edema by using extended CT perfusion. MATERIALS AND METHODS Patients with SAH underwent CTP in the early phase after aneurysmal rupture (days 0-3) and were classified as having global cerebral edema or nonglobal cerebral edema using established noncontrast CT criteria. CTP data were postprocessed into blood-brain barrier permeability quantitative maps of PS (permeability surface-area product), K(trans) (volume transfer constant from blood plasma to extravascular extracellular space), Kep (washout rate constant of the contrast agent from extravascular extracellular space to intravascular space), VE (extravascular extracellular space volume per unit of tissue volume), VP (plasmatic volume per unit of tissue volume), and F (plasma flow) by using Olea Sphere software. Mean values were compared using t tests. RESULTS Twenty-two patients were included in the analysis. Kep (1.32 versus 1.52, P < .0001), K(trans) (0.15 versus 0.19, P < .0001), VP (0.51 versus 0.57, P = .0007), and F (1176 versus 1329, P = .0001) were decreased in global cerebral edema compared with nonglobal cerebral edema while VE (0.81 versus 0.39, P < .0001) was increased. CONCLUSIONS Extended CTP was used to evaluate blood-brain barrier permeability in patients with SAH with and without global cerebral edema. Kep is an important indicator of altered blood-brain barrier permeability in patients with decreased blood flow, as Kep is flow-independent. Further study of blood-brain barrier permeability is needed to improve diagnosis and monitoring of global cerebral edema.

Abstract
High frequency physiologic data are routinely generated for intensive care patients. While massive amounts of data make it difficult for clinicians to extract meaningful signals, these data could provide insight into the state of critically ill patients and guide interventions. We develop uniquely customized computational methods to uncover the causal structure within systemic and brain physiologic measures recorded in a neurological intensive care unit after subarachnoid hemorrhage. While the data have many missing values, poor signal-to-noise ratio, and are composed from a heterogeneous patient population, our advanced imputation and causal inference techniques enable physiologic models to be learned for individuals. Our analyses confirm that complex physiologic relationships including demand and supply of oxygen underlie brain oxygen measurements and that mechanisms for brain swelling early after injury may differ from those that develop in a delayed fashion. These inference methods will enable wider use of ICU data to understand patient physiology.
