Objective: We report a case of superior sagittal sinus thrombosis, where aspiration of the thrombus using a 6 Fr coaxial catheter (CC) resulted in prompt and complete recanalization. Case Presentation: A 69-year-old female was brought to our hospital by ambulance due to headache and left hemiparesis. MRI images revealed superior sagittal sinus thrombosis. Endovascular treatment was performed in addition to anticoagulant therapy to prevent clinical deterioration and to achieve an early improvement. Unfortunately, neither intrasinus chemical thrombolysis nor mechanical thrombectomy with a balloon led to recanalization. Therefore, we used a CC, 6 Fr Cerulean catheter DD6 (Medikit co. ltd., Tokyo, Japan), as an aspiration catheter, which resulted in prompt and complete recanalization. Consequently, her symptoms disappeared shortly thereafter. Conclusion: As the endovascular treatment of venous sinus thrombosis, thrombus aspiration through a 6 Fr CC may be an effective option.
目的:我们报告一例上矢状窦血栓形成，其中使用6fr同轴导管(CC)吸入血栓导致及时和完全的再通。病例介绍:一名69岁女性因头痛、左偏瘫被救护车送至我院。MRI显示上矢状窦血栓形成。血管内治疗在抗凝治疗的基础上进行，以防止临床恶化并实现早期改善。不幸的是，无论是静脉内化学溶栓还是机械球囊取栓都不能导致再通。因此，我们使用CC, 6 Fr Cerulean导管DD6 (Medikit co. ltd, Tokyo, Japan)作为抽吸导管，导致及时和完全的再通。因此，她的症状不久就消失了。结论:作为静脉窦血栓形成的血管内治疗，通过6fr CC吸血栓可能是一种有效的选择。

Objective: We herein report a new technique using double microcatheters to treat a wide-necked aneurysm in which the neck is incorporated with the parent artery. Case Presentations: Case 1: The patient was a 71-year-old woman with a large, wide-necked unruptured aneurysm of the basilar bifurcation area with the right posterior cerebral artery (PCA) incorporated in the aneurysm sac. We previously placed a scaffolding coil around the right PCA orifice via a microcatheter placed near the right PCA to avoid a framing coil via another microcatheter involving the right PCA orifice. After confirming that the framing coil did not obstruct the right PCA flow, the “scaffolding” coil was repositioned in the framing coil. Complete occlusion of the aneurysm was achieved with the stable frame of these two coils. Case 2: The patient was a 68-year-old woman who presented with subarachnoid hemorrhaging due to a ruptured aneurysm with a wide neck of the basilar bifurcation. Coiling with a conventional double-catheter technique failed to form suitable framing because the tips of both microcatheters faced the same direction (posterior) even after changing the shapes of the tips. After leading the tip of one microcatheter to face the anterior direction by inserting part of the first coil via the microcatheter, we placed the second coil via another microcatheter with its tip facing posteriorly. The second coil then came to functions as the scaffolding, holding the tip of the first catheter anteriorly. A stable frame was made when the remaining part of the first coil was deployed. Conclusion: We termed this method the “scaffolding technique.” This technique is an effective and safe option for treating wide-necked aneurysms.

Objective: The authors report a rare case of symptomatic cerebral arteriovenous malformation (AVM) manifesting as trigeminal neuralgia (TGN) that was successfully treated by a multimodal treatment. Case Presentation: A 68-year-old man presented with right TGN. The symptom progressed with lancinating pain. Brain MRI showed a right temporal lobe AVM with a maximum diameter of approximately 50 mm. A right ectatic tortuous vertebral artery (VA) compressed the root of the right trigeminal nerve. The TGN completely disappeared after the 4th embolization. After the 6th embolization, excision was performed. No recurrence of TGN was observed in the 6 months after its excision. Conclusion: The present case suggested that treatment of nidus may improve AVM-induced TGN. Embolization was considered to be an effective modality, especially in multimodal treatment for high-grade AVM.

Objective: To evaluate cerebral blood fl ow immediately after reperfusion following thrombectomy for acute large vessel occlusion, and to examine whether cerebral blood fl ow after reperfusion is related to hemorrhagic transformation. Methods: The patients with acute large vessel occlusion in the anterior circulation who obtained reperfusion by thrombectomy were included. Cerebral blood fl ow was evaluated using single photon emission computed tomography (SPECT) within 6 hours after reperfusion. The patients were divided into two groups with or without hemorrhagic transformation, and basic characteristics, the ratio of cerebral blood fl ow (aff ected-side to unaff ected-side ratio) in the perfusion area of the middle cerebral artery (MCA asymmetry index), and functional prognosis were compared among two groups. Results: In all, 23 patients were included; 11 presented hemorrhagic transformation, and 12 did not. The hemorrhagic group exhibited signifi cantly higher MCA asymmetry index than the non-hemorrhagic group (median: 1.54 [1.30–1.83] vs. 1.12 [1.07–1.24], respectively, P = 0.02), and a lower rate tendency of modifi ed Rankin Scale (mRS): 0-2 after 3 months (1 patient [9%] vs. 6 patients [50%], respectively, P = 0.06). Conclusion: In patients with successful reperfusion by thrombectomy, hemorrhagic transformation is predisposed to occur when high MCA asymmetry index is presented. Care should be taken in periprocedural management of blood pressure and sedation for those with high MCA asymmetry index.

Objective: We devised a method to readily create an ultra-small shape at the microcatheter tip using a sheath dilator. In the present study, we introduce the creation method and report its usefulness. Methods: For mandrel formation, 7 Fr. or 4 Fr. sheath dilators were used. 1) A small, round loop was prepared by rolling a mandrel on a sheath dilator. 2) The mandrel with an ultra-small loop was inserted into the tip of a straight-type microcatheter. 3) The microcatheter tip was heated using a heat gun. 4) The mandrel was removed from the microcatheter tip. Using the catheter which has ultra-small shaped tip, coil embolization was performed. Results: The mandrel loop diameter was 3 mm when a 7 Fr. sheath dilator was used. It was 2 mm when a 4 Fr. sheath dilator was used. It was possible to create various ultra-small shapes, such as J, S, and pigtail shapes, at the catheter tip. Ultra-small shaped catheters were used to treat 25 cerebral aneurysms. In all patients, catheters could be readily guided into the aneurysms, and their stability after insertion was favorable. Conclusion: The ultra-small catheter shaping method with a sheath dilator facilitated the creation of various ultra-small shapes measuring 2–3 mm in diameter at the microcatheter tip.

Objective: To clarify the usefulness and safety of neuroendovascular treatment with a 6 Fr guiding sheath via the right radial artery for anterior circulation lesions. Methods: A total of 20 patients (carotid artery stenting: 11 patients, coil embolization of cerebral aneurysms: nine patients) who underwent neuroendovascular treatment via the right radial artery under general anesthesia, between September 2016 and June 2017, were included in this study. We retrospectively analyzed 1) the pertinent anatomy of the target-side common carotid artery and the aortic arch, 2) devices, 3) method to advance the guiding sheath into the common carotid artery, 4) hemostasis at the puncture site, and 5) outcome (success rate, perioperative complications, and complications at the site of puncture). Results: In all patients, a 6 Fr guiding sheath could be guided into the common carotid artery, and treatment was accomplished. Furthermore, there was no perioperative or puncture-site complication. Conclusion: Transradial neuroendovascular treatment is considered as a safe and successful choice for anterior circulation lesions.

Objective: We report two patients with a rapid increase in the ocular pressure after carotid artery stenting (CAS) for cervical internal carotid artery stenosis with ocular ischemic syndrome. Case Presentations: Case 1 was a 67-year-old male. Case 2 was a 70-year-old male. In the two patients, a reduction in vision and transient hemiparesis had persisted for a few months, leading to a diagnosis of severe internal carotid artery stenosis. Furthermore, they were diagnosed with ocular ischemic syndrome and neovascular glaucoma. Panretinal photocoagulation was performed before CAS in the Department of Ophthalmology. In Case 1, ocular pain appeared 9 days after CAS. In Case 2, it appeared the day after CAS, and increased ocular pressure was noted. After conservative treatment, trabeculectomy was performed, but the visual prognosis was unfavorable. Conclusion: In patients with severe internal carotid artery stenosis and ocular ischemic syndrome, there may be a rapid increase in the ocular pressure after revascularization. Therefore, it is necessary to establish a cross-sectional treatment strategy in cooperation with ophthalmologists.

Objective: Carotid artery stenting (CAS) for common carotid artery stenosis via the transfemoral approach might have a potential risk of iatrogenic distal embolism. In this study, we present a technique of transradial stenting with 6 Fr modified Simmonds guiding sheath for stenosis of the common carotid artery. Case Presentations: A 6 Fr modified Simmonds guiding sheath was introduced via the right radial artery and advanced to the common carotid artery without passing a guidewire or coaxial catheter through the stenotic lesions. Two cases with common carotid artery stenosis were treated successfully with this procedure. Conclusion: Transradial CAS with modified Simmonds guiding sheath provides a safe and durable alternative option for patients with common carotid artery stenosis having vulnerable plaques.

In this study, we present a technique of transradial stenting with 6 Fr modified Simmonds guiding sheath for stenosis of the common carotid artery. Case Presentations: A 6 Fr modified Simmonds guiding sheath was introduced via the right radial artery and advanced to the common carotid artery without passing a guidewire or coaxial catheter through the stenotic lesions. Two cases with common carotid artery stenosis were treated successfully with this procedure. Conclusion: Transradial CAS with modified Simmonds guiding sheath provides a safe and durable alternative option for patients with common carotid artery stenosis having vulnerable plaques.","PeriodicalId":34768,"journal":{"name":"JNET","volume":"12 1","pages":"573-579"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2018-07-18","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"49068331","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
