Cerebral venous sinus thrombosis due to vaccine-induced immune thrombotic thrombocytopenia (CVST-VITT) is an adverse drug reaction occurring after severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) vaccination. CVST-VITT patients often present with large intracerebral haemorrhages and a high proportion undergoes decompressive surgery. Clinical characteristics, therapeutic management and outcomes of CVST-VITT patients who underwent decompressive surgery are described and predictors of in-hospital mortality in these patients are explored.
Data from an ongoing international registry of patients who developed CVST within 28 days of SARS-CoV-2 vaccination, reported between 29 March 2021 and 10 May 2022, were used. Definite, probable and possible VITT cases, as defined by Pavord et al. (N Engl J Med 2021; 385: 1680-1689), were included.
Decompressive surgery was performed in 34/128 (27%) patients with CVST-VITT. In-hospital mortality was 22/34 (65%) in the surgical and 27/94 (29%) in the non-surgical group (p < 0.001). In all surgical cases, the cause of death was brain herniation. The highest mortality rates were found amongst patients with preoperative coma (17/18, 94% vs. 4/14, 29% in the non-comatose; p < 0.001) and bilaterally absent pupillary reflexes (7/7, 100% vs. 6/9, 67% with unilaterally reactive pupil, and 4/11, 36% with bilaterally reactive pupils; p = 0.023). Postoperative imaging revealed worsening of index haemorrhagic lesion in 19 (70%) patients and new haemorrhagic lesions in 16 (59%) patients. At a median follow-up of 6 months, 8/10 of surgical CVST-VITT who survived admission were functionally independent.
Almost two-thirds of surgical CVST-VITT patients died during hospital admission. Preoperative coma and bilateral absence of pupillary responses were associated with higher mortality rates. Survivors often achieved functional independence.
疫苗诱导的免疫性血栓性血小板减少症所致的脑静脉窦血栓形成(CVST-VITT)是接种严重急性呼吸综合征冠状病毒2(SARS-CoV-2)疫苗后发生的一种药物不良反应。CVST-VITT患者常出现大面积脑出血,且很大一部分患者接受了减压手术。本文描述了接受减压手术的CVST-VITT患者的临床特征、治疗管理及预后情况,并探讨了这些患者院内死亡的预测因素。
使用了来自一个正在进行的国际登记处的数据,该登记处记录了2021年3月29日至2022年5月10日期间在接种SARS-CoV-2疫苗后28天内发生CVST的患者情况。纳入了Pavord等人(《新英格兰医学杂志》2021年;385: 1680 - 1689)定义的确诊、很可能和可能的VITT病例。
128例CVST-VITT患者中有34例(27%)接受了减压手术。手术组院内死亡率为22/34(65%),非手术组为27/94(29%)(p < 0.001)。在所有手术病例中,死亡原因均为脑疝。术前昏迷患者的死亡率最高(17/18,94%,而非昏迷患者为4/14,29%;p < 0.001)以及双侧瞳孔反射消失的患者(7/7,100%,单侧瞳孔有反应的患者为6/9,67%,双侧瞳孔有反应的患者为4/11,36%;p = 0.023)。术后影像学检查显示,19例(70%)患者的主要出血性病变恶化,16例(59%)患者出现新的出血性病变。在中位随访6个月时,入院后存活的接受手术的CVST-VITT患者中有8/10功能独立。
近三分之二接受手术的CVST-VITT患者在住院期间死亡。术前昏迷和双侧瞳孔反应缺失与较高的死亡率相关。幸存者通常实现了功能独立。
