Current treatments include the use of endovascular carotid stenting, which carries with it a high risk of propagating further embolic events and worsening the dissection. New strategies for avoiding the aforementioned side-effects include recanalization using cross-collaterals for delivery of intra-lesional tissue plasminogen activator(t PA). We present two cases that provide further support for this novel approach. Both patients presented with a National Institute of Health Stroke Scale of 20, received intra-arterial t PA via cross-collateralization, and made full recoveries without the need for stenting.展开更多

文摘目的:探讨血清胱抑素C(Cystatin c,CysC)水平与短暂性脑缺血发作(Transient ischemic attack,TIA)患者颈内动脉狭窄的相关性.方法:纳入2019年1月至2022年6月我院收治的170例TIA患者为研究对象,根据脑血管造影检查结果评估颈动脉狭窄发生情况;并将颈动脉狭窄程度分为轻度狭窄组(n=38)、中度狭窄组(n=40)和重度狭窄组(n=41).收集所有患者基线资料,并在入院后测定患者实验室指标,重点分析血清CysC水平与TIA患者颈内动脉狭窄的相关性.结果:170例TIA患者中有119例患者发生颈动脉狭窄,发生率为70.00%,其中轻度狭窄患者38例,中度狭窄患者40例,重度狭窄患者41例;四组TIA患者性别、吸烟史、饮酒史、年龄、体重指数(Body Mass Index,BMI)、入院时美国国立卫生研究院卒中量表(National Institutes of Health Stroke Scale,NIHSS)评分、入院时收缩压(Systolic Blood Pressure,SBP)及入院时舒张压(Diastolic blood pressure,DBP)、血清总胆固醇(Cholesterol,CHO)水平比较,差异无统计学意义(P>0.05);重度狭窄组患者血清CysC水平均高于中度狭窄组及轻度狭窄组,三组间比较,差异有统计学意义(P<0.05).经Logistic回归分析显示,血清CysC水平升高是TIA患者颈动脉狭窄程度加重的风险因子(OR>1,P<0.05).结论:血清CysC水平与TIA患者颈内动脉狭窄密切相关,血清CysC水平升高会加重TIA患者颈内动脉狭窄程度.
