Three-dimensional CT angiography (3D-CTA) is increasingly used in the initial evaluation of subarachnoid hemorrhage (SAH). However, there is a risk of aneurysm re-rupture in the hyperacute phase. We sought to clarify the incidence of re-rupture and characterize the subgroup in which extravasation of contrast media was seen on 3D-CTA.
We examined the records of 356 consecutive patients presenting to our institution with non-traumatic SAH between October 2003 and December 2011. After resuscitation, patients with poor grade SAH underwent CT then 3D-CTA while sedated, mechanically ventilated and with a target systolic blood pressure of 120 mmHg.
336 patients underwent 3D-CTA; 20 died without return of spontaneous circulation. Extravasated contrast medium was seen in 16 (4.8%), 15 (4.5%) at the initial evaluation. Their World Federation of Neurosurgical Societies Grade was V; one patient was resuscitated from cardiac arrest. The mean times from onset to arrival and to CTA were 43.7 minutes and 71.8 minutes, respectively. Ten patients (62.5%) had episodes suggestive of aneurysm re-rupture before 3D-CTA. Surgical clipping, evacuation of hematoma and wide decompressive craniectomy was completed in six patients and one underwent coil embolization. Two of 16 patients survived: one with moderate disability and one made a good recovery.
Contrast extravasation was detected by 3D-CTA in 4.5% of cases despite intensive resuscitation, suggesting that continuous or intermittent rebleeding may occur frequently in the hyperacute phase. The consequences of rebleeding are devastating; however, favorable results can be obtained with immediate aneurysm repair with decompression and intensive neurocritical care.
三维CT血管造影(3D - CTA)在蛛网膜下腔出血(SAH)的初始评估中应用越来越广泛。然而,在超急性期存在动脉瘤再次破裂的风险。我们旨在明确再次破裂的发生率,并对在3D - CTA上可见造影剂外渗的亚组进行特征描述。
我们检查了2003年10月至2011年12月期间连续356例因非创伤性SAH就诊于我院的患者记录。复苏后,病情分级较差的SAH患者在镇静、机械通气且目标收缩压为120 mmHg的情况下接受CT检查,随后进行3D - CTA检查。
336例患者接受了3D - CTA检查;20例患者未恢复自主循环而死亡。在初始评估时,16例(4.8%)可见造影剂外渗,其中15例(4.5%)。他们的世界神经外科协会分级为V级;1例患者心脏骤停后复苏成功。从发病到入院以及到CTA检查的平均时间分别为43.7分钟和71.8分钟。10例患者(62.5%)在3D - CTA检查前有提示动脉瘤再次破裂的发作。6例患者完成了手术夹闭、血肿清除和广泛减压颅骨切除术,1例接受了弹簧圈栓塞。16例患者中有2例存活:1例有中度残疾,1例恢复良好。
尽管进行了强化复苏,但3D - CTA仍在4.5%的病例中检测到造影剂外渗,这表明在超急性期可能频繁发生持续性或间歇性再出血。再出血的后果是毁灭性的;然而,通过立即进行动脉瘤修复、减压和强化神经重症监护可获得良好结果。
