Diagnostics (Basel) 2024; 14:1077. [PMID: 38893604 PMCID: PMC11171662 DOI: 10.3390/diagnostics14111077] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 03/28/2024] [Revised: 05/10/2024] [Accepted: 05/13/2024] [Indexed: 06/21/2024] Open
Abstract
BACKGROUND Arteriovenous malformations (AVMs) are abnormal tangles of arteries and veins that connect directly without an intervening capillary bed. Epileptic seizures are the second most common symptom in patients with brain AVMs, occurring in 30 to 50% of cases. However, the exact mechanism of epileptic seizure development in AVMs remains unclear. In this study, we aimed to investigate the factors associated with epileptic seizures in patients with brain arteriovenous malformation (AVMs) in Kazakhstan. METHODS A case-control study was conducted, which included 163 patients diagnosed with brain AVMs. Demographic and clinical data were collected and analyzed, and multivariate logistic regression was built to assess the factors associated with seizures in brain AVMs. RESULTS from this rupture of vessels OR = 0.36 95% CI (0.14-0.91, a medium-to-high Spetzler-Martin score (III-V) OR = 6.16 (2.14-17.69) and OR = 3.05 (1.08-8.68), respectively), location in brain cortex (frontal lobe OR = 6.16 (2.04-18.54), parietal lobe OR = 9.37 (3.26-26.91), temporal lobe OR = 4.57 (1.56-13.36), occipital lobe OR = 0.27 (0.08-0.91), and the presence of hemiparesis OR = 0.12 (0.02-0.66) in adverse outcomes were statistically significantly associated with the presence of epileptic seizures in brain arteriovenous malformations patients. CONCLUSIONS To conclude, this contributed to model factors associated with brain arteriovenous malformations that are linked to epileptic seizures.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Treating unruptured brain arteriovenous malformations (bAVMs) represent significant challenges, with numerous uncertainties still in debate. The ARUBA trial induced further investigation into optimal management strategies for these lesions. Here, we present a systematic-review and meta-analysis focusing on ARUBA-eligible studies, aiming to correlate patient data with outcomes and discuss key aspects of these studies. METHODS Following PRISMA guidelines, we conducted a systematic-review. Variables analyzed included bAVM Spetzler-Martin (SM) grade, treatment modalities, and outcomes such as mortality and neurological deficits. We compared studies with a minimum of 50% cases classified as SM 1-2 lesions and those with less than 50% in this category. Similarly, a comparison between studies with at least 50% microsurgery-cases and those with less than 50% was performed. We examined correlations between mortality incidence, SM distribution, and treatment modalities. RESULTS Our analysis included 16 studies with 2.417 patients. The frequency of bAVMs SM-grade 1-2 ranged from 44% to 76%, SM-grade 3 from 19% to 48%, and SM 4-5 from 5 to 23%. Notably, studies with more than 50% cases presenting lesions SM-grade 1-2 presented significantly lower mortality rates than those with less than 50% cases of SM 1-2 lesions (P < 0.001). No significant difference in mortality rates or neurological deficits was identified between studies with more than 50% of microsurgery-cases and those with less than 50%. CONCLUSIONS The analysis revealed that studies with a higher proportion of bAVMs presenting SM 1-2 lesions were associated with lower mortality rates. Mortality did not show a significant association with treatment modalities.

Enhancing the quality of evidence, comparability, and reproducibility in brain arteriovenous malformations treated with open surgery research: a systematic review and proposal of a reporting guideline for surgical and clinical outcomes. Neurosurg Rev 2024; 47:174. [PMID: 38643293 DOI: 10.1007/s10143-024-02422-z] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 03/22/2024] [Revised: 04/10/2024] [Accepted: 04/16/2024] [Indexed: 04/22/2024]
Abstract
Brain Arteriovenous Malformations (bAVMs) are rare but high-risk developmental anomalies of the vascular system. Microsurgery through craniotomy is believed to be the mainstay standard treatment for many grades of bAVMs. However, a significant challenge emerges in the existing body of clinical studies on open surgery for bAVMs: the lack of reproducibility and comparability. This study aims to assess the quality of studies reporting clinical and surgical outcomes for bAVMs treated by open surgery and develop a reporting guideline checklist focusing on essential elements to ensure comparability and reproducibility. This is a systematic literature review that followed the PRISMA guidelines with the search in Medline, Embase, and Web of Science databases, for studies published between January 1, 2018, and December 1, 2023. Included studies were scrutinized focusing on seven domains: (1) Assessment of How Studies Reported on the Baseline Characteristics of the Patient Sample; (2) Assessment and reporting on bAVMs grading, anatomical characteristics, and radiological aspects; (3) Angioarchitecture Assessment and Reporting; (4) Reporting on Pivotal Concepts Definitions; (5) Reporting on Neurosurgeon(s) and Staff Characteristics; (6) Reporting on Surgical Details; (7) Assessing and Reporting Clinical and Surgical Outcomes and AEs. A total of 47 studies comprising 5,884 patients were included. The scrutiny of the studies identified that the current literature in bAVM open surgery is deficient in many aspects, ranging from fundamental pieces of information of methodology to baseline characteristics of included patients and data reporting. Included studies demonstrated a lack of reproducibility that hinders building cumulative evidence. A bAVM Open Surgery Reporting Guideline with 65 items distributed across eight domains was developed and is proposed in this study aiming to address these shortcomings. This systematic review identified that the available literature regarding microsurgery for bAVM treatment, particularly in studies reporting clinical and surgical outcomes, lacks rigorous scientific methodology and quality in reporting. The proposed bAVM Open Surgery Reporting Guideline covers all essential aspects and is a potential solution to address these shortcomings and increase transparency, comparability, and reproducibility in this scenario. This proposal aims to advance the level of evidence and enhance knowledge regarding the Open Surgery treatment for bAVMs.

Abstract
AIMS To compare the efficacy and deficiency of conservative management (CM), microsurgery (MS) only, and microsurgery with preoperative embolization (E + MS) for unruptured arteriovenous malformations (AVMs). METHODS We prospectively included unruptured AVMs undergoing CM, MS, and E + MS from our institution between August 2011 and August 2021. The primary outcomes were long-term neurofunctional outcomes and hemorrhagic stroke and death. In addition to the comparisons among CM, MS, and E + MS, E + MS was divided into single-staged hybrid and multi-staged E + MS for further analysis. Stabilized inverse probability of treatment weighting using propensity scores was applied to control for confounders by treatment indication across the three groups. RESULTS Of 3758 consecutive AVMs admitted, 718 patients were included finally (266 CM, 364 MS, and 88 E + MS). The median follow-up duration was 5.4 years. Compared with CM, interventions (MS and E + MS) were associated with neurological deterioration. MS could lower the risk of hemorrhagic stroke and death. Multi-staged E + MS was associated with neurological deterioration and higher hemorrhagic risks compared with MS, but the hybrid E + MS operation significantly reduced the hemorrhage risk. CONCLUSION In this study, unruptured AVMs receiving CM would expect better neurofunctional outcomes but bear higher risks of hemorrhage than MS or E + MS. The single-staged hybrid E + MS might be promising in reducing inter-procedural and subsequent hemorrhage.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE Complex cerebral arteriovenous malformations (AVMs) require a combined therapy of endovascular embolization and microsurgical resection to eliminate the lesion and maximize neurological protection, while a deliberate time interval might contribute to optimal clinical outcomes. The present study aimed to explore the feasibility of this paradigm. METHODS All patients who underwent deliberately planned presurgery embolization and microsurgery resection between 2015 and 2023 were reviewed, with baseline data, postoperative complications, and follow-up outcomes recorded. The modified Rankin scale (mRS) was used to evaluate clinical outcomes, with mRS 0-2 defined as good. RESULTS A total of 30 patients were included in the study (15 were ruptured AVMs). The median Spetzler-Martin grade of baseline AVMs was 3 (interquartile range: 2-3). The median interval between the last embolization and microsurgery was 5 days (interquartile range: 2.25-7). The complete removal rate was 100%, and the overall permanent complication rate was 16.67%. At the last follow-up, 26 patients achieved mRS 0-2, while 28 had improved or unaltered mRS. The last follow-up mRS significantly improved from baseline and discharge (P = 0.0006 and P = 0.006). The last follow-up mRS decreased by 0.65 for each additional day of time interval before the 4.4-day inflection point (β = -0.65, P = 0.02) in the AVM ruptured cohort. CONCLUSIONS The deliberately staged combined procedure of embolization and microsurgery might be a safe and efficacious strategy for Spetzler-Martin grade 2-5 AVMs, 4-5 days might be an appropriate staged time interval for ruptured AVMs, although further studies are needed to substantiate these findings.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Preoperative embolization has traditionally been regarded as a safe and effective adjunct to microsurgical treatment of brain arteriovenous malformations (bAVM). However, there is currently no high-level evidence to ascertain this presumption. OBJECTIVE To compare the outcomes of microsurgery (MS) vs microsurgery with preoperative embolization (E + MS) in patients with bAVM through systematic review. METHODS We searched MEDLINE, PubMed, and Embase. The primary outcome was bAVM obliteration. Secondary outcomes were intraoperative bleeding (mL), complications, worsened modified Rankin Scale (mRS), and mortality. The pooled proportions of outcomes were calculated through the logit transformation method. The odds ratio (OR) of categorical data and mean difference of continuous data were estimated through the Mantel-Haenszel and the inverse variance methods, respectively. RESULTS Thirty-two studies met the eligibility criteria. One thousand eight hundred twenty-eight patients were treated by microsurgery alone, and 1088 were treated by microsurgery with preoperative embolization, respectively. The meta-analysis revealed no significant difference in AVM obliteration (94.1% vs 95.6%, OR = 1.15 [0.63-2.11], P = .65), mortality (1.7% vs 2%, OR = 0.88 [0.30-2.58], P = .82), procedural complications (18.2% vs 27.2%, OR = 0.47 [0.19-1.17], P = .10), worsened mRS (21.2% vs 18.5%, OR = 1.08 [0.33-3.54], P = .9), and intraoperative blood loss (mean difference = 182.89 [-87.76, 453.55], P = .19). CONCLUSION The meta-analysis showed no significant difference in AVM obliteration, mortality, complications, worse mRS, and intraoperative blood loss between MS and E + MS groups. For AVMs where MS alone has acceptable results, it is reasonable to bypass unnecessary preoperative embolization given higher postoperative complication risk.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Optimal treatment of patients with high Spetzler-Martin (S-M) grade brain arteriovenous malformations (BAVMs) remains controversial. Few studies have investigated outcomes in such patients treated in a hybrid operating room (hOR). OBJECTIVE To examine outcomes of one-stop hybrid BAVM treatment in patients with high-grade lesions. METHODS We prospectively enrolled patients with high-grade BAVMs (S-M grade ≥3) aged 18-65 years who underwent one-stop hybrid BAVM treatment at our hospital between October 2016 and March 2021. High-grade BAVM patients who underwent surgery from 2010 to 2016 served as historical controls. RESULTS Forty-one high-grade BAVM patients underwent one-stop hybrid treatment in a hOR. Sixty-one propensity score-matched patients comprised the historical control group. The groups did not significantly differ in patient and BAVM characteristics. Intraoperative angiography in four patients of the hOR group demonstrated residual nidus that required further immediate resection. Main procedural complications included hemorrhage, neurologic deficit, and seizure. In the historical control group, diffuse angioarchitecture and arteriovenous fistula were independent risk factors for incomplete resection. CONCLUSIONS One-stop hybrid BAVM treatment is safe and effective for removal of high-grade BAVMs, especially those with diffuse or complex angioarchitecture. Preoperative embolization can effectively reduce blood flow while preserving motor and language function. The combined application of functional magnetic resonance imaging, electrophysiological monitoring, and awake craniotomy can successfully avoid causing neurological injury.

Quantitative evaluation of hemodynamics after partial embolization of brain arteriovenous malformations. J Neurointerv Surg 2022; 14:1112-1117. [PMID: 34872987 DOI: 10.1136/neurintsurg-2021-018187] [Citation(s) in RCA: 2] [Impact Index Per Article: 1.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 08/31/2021] [Accepted: 10/16/2021] [Indexed: 11/03/2022]
Abstract
BACKGROUND To explore the hemodynamic changes after embolization of arteriovenous malformations (AVMs) using quantitative digital subtraction angiography (QDSA). METHODS We reviewed 74 supratentorial AVMs that underwent endovascular embolization and performed a quantitative hemodynamic analysis comparing parameters in pre- and post-operative DSA in correlation with rupture. The AVMs were further divided into two subgroups based on the embolization degree: Group I: 0%-50%, Group II: 51%-100%. In the intergroup analysis, we examined the correlations between embolization degree and hemodynamic parameter changes. RESULTS A longer time to peak (TTP) of the main feeding artery (OR 11.836; 95% CI 1.388 to 100.948; P=0.024) and shorter mean transit time (MTT) of the nidus (OR 0.174; 95% CI 0.039 to 0.766; P=0.021) were associated with AVM rupture. After embolization, all MTTs were significantly prolonged (P<0.05). The full width at half maximum (FWHM) duration of the main feeding artery was significantly shortened (P<0.001), and several hemodynamic parameters of the main draining vein changed significantly (TTP: prolonged, P=0.005; FWHM: prolonged, P=0.014; inflow gradient: decreased, P=0.004; outflow gradient: decreased, P=0.042). In the subgroup analysis, several MTT parameters were significantly prolonged in both groups (P<0.05), and the MTT increase rate in Group II was greater than in Group I (P<0.05). CONCLUSIONS Embolization can significantly change the hemodynamics of AVMs, especially when an embolization degree >50% is obtained. Partial embolization may reduce the AVM rupture risk in hemodynamics perspective.

Efficacy of Liquid Embolic Agent Treatment in Hemorrhagic Peripheral Intracranial Aneurysms: A Single-Center Experience. Brain Sci 2022; 12:brainsci12091264. [PMID: 36139000 PMCID: PMC9496767 DOI: 10.3390/brainsci12091264] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 07/24/2022] [Revised: 09/08/2022] [Accepted: 09/14/2022] [Indexed: 12/04/2022] Open
Abstract
Objective: To evaluate the efficacy of liquid embolization agents for treating various hemorrhagic peripheral intracranial aneurysms. Methods: We retrospectively analyzed 38 patients who suffered from hemorrhagic peripheral intracranial aneurysms and were treated with liquid embolization agents. We used the modified Rankin scale for follow-up at 6 months postoperatively, and digital subtraction angiography follow-up was performed 6 months postoperatively. Results: Of the 38 patients (ten of simple peripheral intracranial aneurysms, six of Moyamoya disease (MMD), and 22 of arteriovenous malformation (AVM)), posterior circulation accounted for the most significant proportion (57.9%), followed by anterior circulation (21.1%) and intranidal aneurysms (21.1%). Intraoperative hemorrhage occurred in four cases, postoperative cerebral infarction occurred in four cases, two patients encountered microcatheter retention, and intraoperative thrombosis took place in the basilar artery of a patient with an arteriovenous malformation. A postoperative hemorrhage occurred in only one patient. At 6-month follow-up, 84.2% of patients had good prognosis outcomes, and 13.5% had poor outcomes. Conclusion: Liquid embolization agents are effective for hemorrhagic peripheral intracranial aneurysms; however, safety depends on the subtypes. For peripheral hemorrhagic aneurysms in MMD, the vessel architecture must be carefully evaluated before embolization.

Front Surg 2022; 9:888558. [PMID: 35959118 PMCID: PMC9360567 DOI: 10.3389/fsurg.2022.888558] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 03/03/2022] [Accepted: 07/12/2022] [Indexed: 11/13/2022] Open
Abstract
The primitive trigeminal artery (PTA), an abnormal carotid-basilar anastomosis, forms the vascular anomaly connection between the internal carotid artery and vertebrobasilar system. Rarely, PTA can be complicated by several other cerebrovascular disease, including arteriovenous malformations (AVMs), intracranial aneurysms, moyamoya disease, and carotid-cavernous malformations. Herein, we reported a rare case of PTA combined with an AVM in a male patient. The patient was a 28-year-old male with epileptic seizures at the onset of symptoms. Magnetic resonance imaging showed abnormal signal foci and localized softening foci formation with gliosis in the right parietal temporal lobe. Furthermore, using a digital subtraction angiogram (DSA), it was found that an abnormal carotid-basilar anastomosis had developed through a PTA originating from the cavernous portion of the right internal carotid artery (ICA) and a large AVM on the surface of the right carotid artery. The lesion of AVM tightly developed and draining into superior sagittal sinus. A hybrid operating room was used for the surgery. The main feeding arteries of the AVM originating from three major arteries, including the right middle cerebral artery, the right anterior cerebral artery, and the right posterior cerebral artery, were clipped and subsequently, then the AVM was thoroughly removed. The intraoperative DSA showed that the AVM had been resected completely. Postoperative pathological examination of the resected specimen indicated the presence of an AVM. The patient recovered well after surgery and has been symptom-free for more than 3 months. In summary, the pathogenesis of the coexistence of PTA and AVM remains unknown. As highlighted in this case report, hybrid surgery can be used to remove AVMs and can improve the patients' prognosis. To our best knowledge, this is the first case in the literature of successful AVM treatment using hybrid surgery.

Long-term outcomes of Spetzler-Martin grade IV and V arteriovenous malformations: a single-center experience. Neurosurg Focus 2022; 53:E12. [PMID: 35901717 DOI: 10.3171/2022.4.focus21648] [Citation(s) in RCA: 1] [Impact Index Per Article: 0.5] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 10/28/2021] [Accepted: 04/11/2022] [Indexed: 11/06/2022]
Abstract
OBJECTIVE This study aimed to explore whether intervention can benefit Spetzler-Martin (SM) grade IV-V arteriovenous malformations (AVMs). METHODS Eighty-two patients with SM grade IV-V AVMs were retrospectively reviewed from 2015 to 2018. Patients were divided into two groups: those who received conservative management (22 cases [26.8%]) and intervention (60 cases [73.2%], including 21 cases of microsurgery, 19 embolization, and 20 hybrid surgery). Neurofunctional outcomes were assessed with the modified Rankin Scale (mRS). The primary outcome was long-term neurofunctional status, and the secondary outcomes were short-term neurofunctional status, long-term obliteration rate, seizure control, and risk of subsequent hemorrhage. RESULTS Regarding the primary outcome, after an average of 4.7 years of clinical follow-up, long-term neurofunctional outcomes were similar after conservative management or intervention (absolute difference -0.4 [95% CI -1.5 to 0.7], OR 0.709 [95% CI 0.461-1.090], p = 0.106), whereas intervention had an advantage over conservative management for avoidance of severe disability (defined as mRS score > 3) (1.7% vs 18.2%, absolute difference 16.5% [95% CI -23.6% to 56.6%], OR 0.076 [95% CI 0.008-0.727], p = 0.025). Regarding the secondary outcomes, intervention was conducive to better seizure control (Engel class I-II) (70.0% vs 0.0%, absolute difference 70.0% [95% CI 8.6%-131.4%], p = 0.010) and avoidance of subsequent hemorrhage (1.4% vs 6.0%, absolute difference 4.6% [95% CI -0.4% to 9.6%], p = 0.030). In the subgroup analysis based on different intervention modalities, microsurgery and hybrid surgery achieved higher complete obliteration rates than embolization (p < 0.001), and hybrid surgery resulted in significantly less intraoperative blood loss than microsurgery (p = 0.041). CONCLUSIONS Intervention is reasonable for properly indicated SM grade IV-V AVMs because it provides satisfactory seizure control with decreased risks of severe disability and subsequent hemorrhage than conservative management. Clinical trial registration no.: NCT04572568 (ClinicalTrials.gov).

Multimodality Treatment of Brain Arteriovenous Malformations with One-Staged Hybrid Operation: Clinical Characteristics and Long-Term Prognosis. DISEASE MARKERS 2022; 2022:2559004. [PMID: 35265225 PMCID: PMC8898859 DOI: 10.1155/2022/2559004] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 12/20/2021] [Revised: 01/19/2022] [Accepted: 02/04/2022] [Indexed: 11/17/2022]
Abstract
Objective We aimed to evaluate the clinical characteristics and long-term prognosis of brain arteriovenous malformations (bAVMs) treated with multimodality management of one-staged hybrid operation. Methods We identified bAVM patients treated with one-staged hybrid operation from a multicenter prospective cohort study (NCT03774017) between January 2016 and June 2020. Patients were divided into unruptured and ruptured groups by the hemorrhagic presentation. Long-term (>12 months) neurological disability, postoperative complications of stroke, and nidus obliteration were evaluated and compared between groups. Prognostic predictors associated with outcomes were analyzed. Results A total of 130 patients were identified in the study receiving one-staged hybrid operations, including 61 unruptured cases and 69 ruptured cases. Mean age was 29.1 years old, with 78 (60.0%) being male. Patients included in the study were followed up for a mean period of 37.4 (11.07) months. The annual hemorrhagic risk was 4.2% per year. Thirteen postoperative stroke events were detected in 11 patients (8.5%). Long-term disability occurred in 6.9% of cases, and 86.2% of patients experienced an unchanged or improved neurological status at the last follow-up. All patients achieved complete obliteration on follow-up angiographies. Increased AVM volume was associated with a higher risk of postoperative stroke (odds ratio (OR) 1.021, 95% confidence interval (CI) 1.006-1.037, and P = 0.006). Poor neurological status (OR 6.461, 95% CI 1.309-31.889, and P = 0.022) and infratentorial location (OR 5.618, 95% CI 1.158-27.246, and P = 0.032) were independent predictors for long-term disability. Conclusions One-staged hybrid operation of embolization combined microsurgical resection can be performed as a safe and effective strategy for bAVM treatments. Long-term prognosis of complete obliteration with low rates of morbidity and mortality can be achieved. Unruptured and ruptured bAVMs acquired similar favorable outcomes after the multimodality treatment.
