Parent Artery Occlusion

Abstract OBJECTIVE: Therapeutic parent artery occlusion with or without revascularization is a useful surgical technique for the management of a giant aneurysm located in the intracavernous portion of the internal carotid artery (ICA). The purpose of the present study was to determine whether intraoperative cortical blood flow (CoBF) monitoring during surgical parent artery occlusion could identify patients who required bypass with a saphenous vein graft (high flow bypass). METHODS: Eleven patients with a giant aneurysm located in the intracavernous portion of the ICA underwent superficial temporal artery-middle cerebral artery bypass. CoBF was monitored intraoperatively in all patients using a thermal diffusion flow probe. The lowest CoBF during test occlusion of the ICA under functioning superficial temporal artery-middle cerebral artery bypass was determined, and the ratio of the value to the CoBF immediately before test occlusion of the ICA was calculated in the frontal and temporal lobes. When the CoBF ratio in the frontal or temporal lobe was less than 0.9, high flow bypass grafting was elected. RESULTS: Of the eleven patients undergoing superficial temporal artery-middle cerebral artery bypass, five patients underwent concomitant high flow bypass grafting. Postoperative cerebral ischemic events did not occur in any patient over a follow-up period ranging from 3 to 60 months. Postoperative cerebral angiography showed resolution of the aneurysm and patency of the bypass in all patients. CONCLUSION: Intraoperative CoBF monitoring using a thermal diffusion flow probe during surgical parent artery occlusion for giant intracavernous carotid artery aneurysms can identify patients who require concomitant high flow bypass grafting.

Parent Artery Occlusion

Treatment of intracranial giant aneurysms presents is challenging. In the case of pediatric giant aneurysm, more challenges arise. We describe our experience with a 17-year-old pediatric patient who presented with severe headache. She was diagnosed as having a giant fusiform aneurysm at the right P1-P2-Pcom junction. The aneurysm was treated with superficial temporal artery-posterior cerebral artery bypass and subsequent coil embolization of the aneurysm with parent artery occlusion. The patient had an excellent outcome at one-year follow-up. Our case suggests a combined approach of surgical and endovascular management may yield a better outcome than surgery or endovascular management alone in the treatment of pediatric giant aneurysm.

Abstract We present the case of a 34-yr-old male who suffered repeated ischemic events resulting in right-sided weakness. He was found to have left M1 segment near occlusion on angiography with a large area of uncompensated hypoperfusion. The patient underwent a direct superficial temporal artery-middle cerebral artery (STA-MCA) bypass. Direct bypass in the acute setting of ischemia has been previously described.1-5 Moyamoya ischemic disease can be treated with either direct or indirect surgical revascularization. There have been several techniques developed for direct bypasses in moyamoya ischemic disease. These include the standard 1-donor 1-recipient (1D1R) end-to-side (ES) bypass, the “double-barrel” 2-donor 2-recipient (2D2R) ES bypass, and the more recently developed 1-donor 2-recipient (1D2R)6,7 utilizing both an ES and a side-to-side (SS) bypass with a 1-donor vessel. The case presentation, surgical anatomy, decision-making, operative nuances, and postoperative course and outcome are reviewed. The patient gave verbal consent for participating in the procedure and surgical video.

Abstract This case history of a man with bilateral carotid artery occlusions presents angiographic documentation of the embolization of a superficial temporal-middle cerebral artery bypass. The embolic source was thrombotic and/or atheromatous debris that had collected in the persistent stump of one of the occluded internal carotid arteries.
