Subthalamic Nucleus Deep Brain Stimulation Treats Parkinson's Disease Patients with Cardiovascular Disease Comorbidity: A Retrospective Study of a Single Center Experience.

ABSTRACT:

Background

Subthalamic nucleus (STN) deep brain stimulation (DBS) is an effective method for treating Parkinson's disease (PD). However, safety of STN-DBS treating PD patients with cardiovascular disease (CVD) comorbidity is rarely focused and reported. The aim of this study is to investigate the efficacy and safety of STN-DBS treating PD patients with CVD comorbidity.

Methods

We retrospectively included PD patients with CVD comorbidity who underwent STN-DBS under general anesthesia in our center from January 2019 to January 2021. Patient's PD symptoms and cardiopulmonary function were evaluated by a multi-disciplinary team (MDT) before surgery. Post-operative clinical outcome and complications were collected until 1-year follow-up.

Results

A total of 38 patients (26
