Invasive Diagnostic and Therapeutic Management of Cerebral VasoSpasm after Aneurysmal Subarachnoid Hemorrhage (IMCVS)-A Phase 2 Randomized Controlled Trial.

ABSTRACT: Cerebral vasospasm (CVS) is associated with delayed cerebral ischemia (DCI) after aneurysmal subarachnoid hemorrhage (SAH). The most frequently used form of rescue therapy for CVS is invasive endovascular therapy. Due to a lack of prospective data, we performed a prospective randomized multicenter trial (NCT01400360). A total of 34 patients in three centers were randomized to invasive endovascular treatment or conservative therapy at diagnosis of relevant CVS onset. Imaging data was assessed by a neuroradiologist blinded for treatment allocation. Primary outcome measure was development of DCI. Secondary endpoints included clinical outcome at 6 months after SAH. A total of 18 of the 34 patients were treated conservatively, and 16 patients were treated with invasive endovascular treatment for CVS. There was no statistical difference in the rate of cerebral infarctions either at initial or at the follow-up MRI between the groups. However, the outcome at 6 months was better in patients treated conservatively (mRs 2 ± 1.5 vs. 4 ± 1.8, p = 0.005). Invasive endovascular treatment for CVS does not lead to a lower rate of DCI but might lead to poorer outcomes compared to induced hypertension. The potential benefits of endovascular treatment for CVS need to be addressed in further studies, searching for a subgroup of patients who may benefit.

Project description:BackgroundCerebral vasospasm is a major contributor to disability and mortality after aneurysmal subarachnoid hemorrhage. Oxidation of cell-free hemoglobin plays an integral role in neuroinflammation and is a suggested source of tissue injury after aneurysm rupture. This study sought to determine whether patients with subarachnoid hemorrhage and cerebral vasospasm were more likely to have been exposed to early hyperoxemia than those without vasospasm.MethodsThis single-center retrospective cohort study included adult patients presenting with aneurysmal subarachnoid hemorrhage to Vanderbilt University Medical Center between January 2007 and December 2017. Patients with an ICD-9/10 diagnosis of aneurysmal subarachnoid hemorrhage were initially identified (N = 441) and subsequently excluded if they did not have intracranial imaging, arterial PaO2 values or died within 96 h post-rupture (N = 96). The final cohort was 345 subjects. The degree of hyperoxemia was defined by the highest PaO2 measured within 72 h after aneurysmal rupture. The primary outcome was development of cerebral vasospasm, which included asymptomatic vasospasm and delayed cerebral ischemia (DCI). Secondary outcomes were mortality and modified Rankin Scale.ResultsThree hundred and forty five patients met inclusion criteria; 218 patients (63%) developed vasospasm. Of those that developed vasospasm, 85 were diagnosed with delayed cerebral ischemia (DCI, 39%). The average patient age of the cohort was 55 ± 13 years, and 68% were female. Ninety percent presented with Fisher grade 3 or 4 hemorrhage (N = 310), while 42% presented as Hunt-Hess grade 4 or 5 (N = 146). In univariable analysis, patients exposed to higher levels of PaO2 by quintile of exposure had a higher mortality rate and were more likely to develop vasospasm in a dose-dependent fashion (P = 0.015 and P = 0.019, respectively). There were no statistically significant predictors that differentiated asymptomatic vasospasm from DCI and no significant difference in maximum PaO2 between these two groups. In multivariable analysis, early hyperoxemia was independently associated with vasospasm (OR = 1.15 per 50 mmHg increase in PaO2 [1.03, 1.28]; P = 0.013), but not mortality (OR = 1.10 [0.97, 1.25]; P = 0.147) following subarachnoid hemorrhage.ConclusionsHyperoxemia within 72 h post-aneurysmal rupture is an independent predictor of cerebral vasospasm, but not mortality in subarachnoid hemorrhage. Hyperoxemia is a variable that can be readily controlled by adjusting the delivered FiO2 and may represent a modifiable risk factor for vasospasm.

Project description:The diagnosis of cerebral vasospasm after Subarachnoid-Hemorrhage is currently very difficult, additional tools such as blood biomarkers are necessary. We tested the ability of gene expression profiles of blood cells to predict vasospasm. 32 patients suffering subarachnoid-hemorrhage were included in this prospective monocentre study. They were grouped according to have a complicated cerebral vasospasm (Vasospasm) or not (Control) and Paired according to age (+/- 10 years), sex, Fisher grade (+/- 1), location, smoking (at least 3 first parameters). Gene expression profiles of blood cells were determined using 25,000~gene microarray. Blood sample: 2.5 mL harvested in PAXgene® Blood RNA tubes (PreAnalytix) RNA extraction: PAXgene® Blood RNA kit (Qiagen). We used a Universel Reference RNA (Stratagene). RNA amplification and labelling: kit Amino Allyl MessageAmp II (Ambion). We hybridized 4 microarrays per patient using pangenomic microarrays from the "Réseau National des Génopôles" (Illkirch, France). 2 slides were hybridized with reference RNA labelled Cy3 and patient RNA labelled Cy5, and 2 slides were hybridized with reference RNA labelled Cy5 and patient RNA labelled Cy3. Hybridation : Agilent protocol with few modifications : 750 ng of each labelled RNA were hubriddized at 60°C during 17 hours in an Aglient hybridization oven. After washings, Slides were scanned with a GenePix 4000B scanner (Molecular Devices). Image intensity data were extracted with GenePix Pro 6.0 analysis software. Quantification of Cy3 and Cy5 and selection of good spots were performed using the MAIA software (Novikov E and Barillot E. Software package for automatic microarray image analysis (MAIA). The ACUITY software was then used to normalize log ratios Cy3/Cy5 with Lowess non linear normalization, to filter out genes not present in at least 3 slides out of 4, to evaluate the reproducibility of the 4 microarrays of each patient (hierarchical clustering, Self Organizing Maps). Statistical analyses to insure reproducibility was performed using Excel (correlation coefficients, ANOVA). Only slides that passed all reprocubility tests were validated.

Project description:BackgroundVasospasm and cerebral ischemia after aneurysmal subarachnoid hemorrhage are associated with mortality and poor neurological outcomes. We studied the efficacy of all available strategies targeting vasospasm and cerebral ischemia on outcomes in a network meta-analysis.MethodsWe searched EMBASE and MEDLINE databases from 1 January 1990 and 28 November 2021 according to PRISMA guidelines. Randomized controlled trials and longitudinal studies were included. All curative or preventive strategies targeting vasospasm and/or cerebral ischemia were eligible. A network meta-analysis was performed to compare all interventions with one another in a primary (randomized controlled trials only) and a secondary analysis (both trials and longitudinal studies). Mortality by 3 months was the primary outcome. Secondary outcomes were vasospasm, neurological outcome by 3 months, and dichotomized as "good" or "poor" recovery according to each study definition.ResultsA total of 2,382 studies were screened which resulted in the selection of 192 clinical trials (92 (47.9%) and 100 cohorts (52.1%) and the inclusion of 41,299 patients. In randomized controlled studies, no strategy decreased mortality by 3 months. Statins (0.79 [0.62-1]), tirilazad (0.82 [0.69-0.97]), CSF drainage (0.47 [0.29-0.77]), and clazosentan (0.51 [0.36-0.71]) significantly decreased the incidence of vasospasm. Cilostazol was the only treatment associated with improved neurological outcomes by 3 months in the primary (OR 1.16, 95% CI [1.05-1.28]) and secondary analyses (OR 2.97, 95% CI [1.39-6.32]).DiscussionIn the modern era of subarachnoid hemorrhage, all strategies targeting vasospasm failed to decrease mortality. Cilostazol should be confirmed as a treatment to improve neurological outcomes. The link between vasospasm and neurological outcome appears questionable.Systematic review registrationhttps://www.crd.york.ac.uk/PROSPERO/display_record.php?RecordID=116073, identifier: PROSPERO CRD42018116073.
