The intra-neuroendoscopic technique: A new method for rapid removal of acute severe intraventricular hematoma.

ABSTRACT: The mortality rate of acute severe intraventricular hematoma is extremely high, and the rate of disability in survivors is high. Intraventricular hematoma has always been a difficult problem for clinical treatment. Although minimally invasive endoscopic hematoma evacuation is widely used to treat this disease, the technique still has room for improvement. Equipment for the intra-neuroendoscopic technique (INET) consists of two of our patented inventions: a transparent sheath (Patent No. ZL 200820046232.0) and a hematoma aspirator (Patent No. ZL 201520248717.8). This study explored the safety and efficacy of INET by comparing it with extraventricular drainage in combination with urokinase thrombolytic therapy. This trial recruited 65 patients with severe intraventricular hemorrhage, includi
