Spasm, stenosis and shelves: balloon-assisted tracking techniques in endovascular interventions
Melanie Walker,Louis J Kim,Michael R Levitt,Basavaraj Ghodke 대한뇌혈관외과학회 2020 Journal of Cerebrovascular and Endovascular Neuros Vol.22 No.1
The technique of balloon-assisted tracking (BAT) has been demonstrated in transradial cardio-angiographic procedures. Using three commonly encountered clinical scenarios, we outline the technical details of BAT for managing peripheral and cerebral interventions with challenging vascular access. We describe methods used to overcome vasospasm, stenosis and vascular shelves during interventions for acute ischemic stroke, but these issues are not unique to neuroendovascular cases and the techniques can be applied across all endovascular interventions. We present three acute stroke interventions where anatomic challenges were overcome with the use of endovascular BAT. This article describes a novel application for BAT techniques in endovascular interventions to assist with access in peripheral, cervical and intracranial vessels. These methods can also be used to improve access during diagnostic cerebral angiography. BAT is a useful adjunct when navigating catheters through vasospasm, tortuous anatomy, vascular step-offs or intraluminal plaques.
Hybrid microcatheter angioplasty for refractory cerebral vasospasm
Walker Melanie,Erdoes Morgan P.,Stricker Chloe G.,Bothell Julie,Kelly Cory M.,Levitt Michael R. 대한뇌혈관외과학회 2021 Journal of Cerebrovascular and Endovascular Neuros Vol.23 No.2
Cerebral vasospasm is a significant cause of morbidity and mortality associated with aneurysmal subarachnoid hemorrhage (aSAH). Intra-arterial chemical and mechanical angioplasty, performed alone or in combination, have been shown to ameliorate cerebral vasospasm and improve patient outcomes. Few options exist for patients who fail these traditional endovascular tactics. We propose a hybrid microcatheter technique that combines the mechanical benefit of transient high pressure induced by microcatheter fluid bolus with a low-dose vasodilator infusion. Five patients with moderate to severe symptomatic vasospasm who failed medical and traditional endovascular management were treated using a hybrid microcatheter technique. All angioplasty procedures were technically successful, and the degree of vasospasm improved following angioplasty. There were no complications related to the cerebral angioplasty procedures. None of the patients required repeat endovascular intervention. Hybrid microcatheter angioplasty may be a useful complement to mechanical or pharmacological techniques in the endovascular management of intractable cerebral vasospasm after aSAH.
