The aim of this study was an analysis of complications after surgical treatment of the cerebral supratentorial arteriovenous malformations (AVM), assessment of their clinical sequelae, and attempt to find factors influencing their occurrence.
88 consecutive patients operated on for AVM in the years 1983-2000 were included in a retrospective study. In all patients microsurgical, selective removal of AVM was performed, without prior embolization. The statistical analysis was carried out by means of exact Fisher test and c2 test.
Complications in the postoperative period were observed in 45.5%, including short-term deterioration (27.3%) and symptoms present till the day of discharge (18.2%). Mechanisms of deterioration were as follows: significant intraoperative hemorrhage (5.7%), hemodynamic disturbances after AVM removal (20.5%) and resection of AVM in the eloquent area (19.3%). Many variables that may contribute to the complications were studied. Factors increasing the risk of significant intraoperative hemorrhage are: steal effect visible in angiography (32% vs. 10%, p<0.05), intraventricular penetration of AVM (38% vs. 11%, p<0.05). Factors increasing the risk of hemodynamic disturbances are: feeding from the medial cerebral artery (MCA) (31% vs. 8%, p=0.02) and complex venous drainage (32% vs. 14%, p=0.05).
The most common causes of postoperative deterioration are hemodynamic disturbances after AVM removal and manipulation in the eloquent area. Hemodynamic disturbances worsened the prognosis significantly, and were the only cause of mortality (3.4%). However, massive intraoperative hemorrhage and operation in the eloquent area did not influence the outcome significantly. Risk factors for intraoperative hemorrhage are steal effect and intraventricular penetration of AVM. Risk factors for hemodynamic disturbances are feeding AVM from MCA and complex venous drainage.
本研究旨在分析幕上脑动静脉畸形(AVM)手术治疗后的并发症,评估其临床后遗症,并试图找出影响其发生的因素。
对1983年至2000年间连续88例接受AVM手术的患者进行回顾性研究。所有患者均接受显微手术,选择性切除AVM,未进行术前栓塞。采用精确Fisher检验和卡方检验进行统计分析。
术后并发症发生率为45.5%,包括短期病情恶化(27.3%)和直至出院时仍存在的症状(18.2%)。病情恶化的机制如下:术中大量出血(5.7%)、AVM切除后血流动力学紊乱(20.5%)以及在功能区切除AVM(19.3%)。研究了许多可能导致并发症的变量。增加术中大量出血风险的因素有:血管造影可见的盗血效应(32%对10%,p<0.05)、AVM穿入脑室(38%对11%,p<0.05)。增加血流动力学紊乱风险的因素有:由大脑中动脉(MCA)供血(31%对8%,p=0.02)和复杂的静脉引流(32%对14%,p=0.05)。
术后病情恶化的最常见原因是AVM切除后血流动力学紊乱以及在功能区的操作。血流动力学紊乱显著恶化了预后,并且是唯一的死亡原因(3.4%)。然而,术中大量出血和在功能区手术对预后无显著影响。术中出血的危险因素是盗血效应和AVM穿入脑室。血流动力学紊乱的危险因素是由MCA供血的AVM和复杂的静脉引流。
