Predictors of Good Outcome After Endovascular Treatment for Patients with Vertebrobasilar Artery Occlusion due to Intracranial Atherosclerotic StenosisAbstractPurpose
To investigate the predictors for good outcome of endovascular therapy (EVT) for patients with acute vertebrobasilar artery occlusion (VBAO) due to intracranial atherosclerosis stenosis (ICAS).
Methods
From April 2012 to February 2018, patients with VBAO due to ICAS who received EVT were retrospectively analyzed. ICAS was defined as fixed stenosis of >70%, or a degree of fixed stenosis >50% in addition to either perfusion impairment or evidence to re-occlusion. Good outcome was defined as mRS≤2 at 90 days. Both logistic regression and receiver operating characteristic curve (ROC) analyses were performed to explore the predictors.
Results
Among 103 patients enrolled in the analysis, 40.8% achieved good outcome. Prior antiplatelet therapy (OR, 7.301; 95% CI, 1.761–30.265; P=0.006), EVT+IVT (OR, 7.343; 95% CI, 1.621–33.263; P=0.010 ), the pc-ASPECT on DWI (OR, 1.705; 95% CI, 1.127–2.580; P=0.012), BATMAN (OR, 1.395; 95% CI, 1.005–1.937; P=0047), general anesthesia (OR, 0.081; 95% CI, 0.010–0.633; P=0.017), onset-to-recanalization time (≤542min vs. >542min) (OR, 0.194; 95% CI, 0.057–0.661; P=0.009) and the initial NIHSS (OR, 0.882; 95% CI, 0.820–0.949; P=0.001) were significantly associated with good outcome in logistic regression. Based on ROC analyses, initial NIHSS score (area under the curve [AUC]= 0.816, p <0.001; cutoff,19.5; sensitivity, 78.7%; specificity, 72.5%) was significant predictors of good outcome.
Conclusions
For patients with VBAO due to ICAS, prior antiplatelet therapy, EVT+IVT, local anesthesia, short onset-to-recanalization time, a low initial NIHSS, a high pc-ASPECT and BATMAN might be helpful to predict the good outcome at 90 days after EVT.

MDCT-based Finite Element Analysis of Vertebral Fracture Risk: What Dose is Needed?AbstractPurpose
The aim of this study was to compare vertebral failure loads, predicted from finite element (FE) analysis of patients with and without osteoporotic vertebral fractures (OVF) at virtually reduced dose levels, compared to standard-dose exposure from multidetector computed tomography (MDCT) imaging and evaluate whether ultra-low dose derived FE analysis can still differentiate patient groups.
Materials and Methods
An institutional review board (IRB) approval was obtained for this retrospective study. A total of 16 patients were evaluated at standard-dose MDCT; eight with and eight without OVF. Images were reconstructed at virtually reduced dose levels (i. e. half, quarter and tenth of the standard dose). Failure load was determined at L1–3 from FE analysis and compared between standard, half, quarter, and tenth doses and used to differentiate between fracture and control groups.
Results
Failure load derived at standard dose (3254 ± 909 N and 3794 ± 984 N) did not significantly differ from half (3390 ± 890 N and 3860 ± 1063 N) and quarter dose (3375 ± 915 N and 3925 ± 990 N) but was significantly higher for one tenth dose (4513 ± 1762 N and 4766 ± 1628 N) for fracture and control groups, respectively. Failure load differed significantly between the two groups at standard, half and quarter doses, but not at tenth dose. Receiver operating characteristic (ROC) curve analysis also demonstrated that standard, half, and quarter doses can significantly differentiate the fracture from the control group.
Conclusion
The use of MDCT enables a dose reduction of at least 75% compared to standard-dose for an adequate prediction of vertebral failure load based on non-invasive FE analysis.

Long-Term Risk of In-Stent Restenosis and Stent Fracture for Extracranial Vertebral Artery StentingAbstractPurpose
Stenting and angioplasty of the vertebral artery (VA) is used to treat symptomatic stenosis but the long-term outcomes and complications are unclear. This study evaluated the long-term clinical outcomes and procedure-related complications in patients who underwent extracranial VA stenting and angioplasty, in particular the risks of in-stent restenosis (ISR) and stent fracture.
Methods
This was a retrospective review of consecutive patients suffering from symptomatic extracranial VA stenosis who were treated with balloon-expandable bare metal stents. The clinical and angiographical outcomes were reviewed for procedural complications, recurrent stroke, ISR and stent fracture.
Results
In this study 22 patients (17 male, 5 female) with a mean age of 63.4 years (SD 9.1 years) were included. The median follow-up was 56 months (interquartile range IQR 51.8 months). There were no periprocedural complications. The cumulative ISR risk was 45% with 6 cases detected at 1 year and 3 cases detected at 3 years post operation. The cumulative stent fracture rate at 1 year, 3 years, 5 years and the entire follow-up period were 5%, 15%, 25%, and 30%, respectively. Posterior circulation stroke occurred in 1 patient (4.5%), and 3 patients died of non-cerebrovascular causes during follow-up. Of the patients 2 with ISR and stent fracture required additional treatment.
Conclusion
The long-term ISR and stent fracture risks were high in extracranial VA stenosis treated with balloon-expandable bare metal stents. The risk of stent fracture increased over time during the follow-up period. Further studies should be conducted to clarify the long-term safety and efficacy of extracranial VA stenting.

Magnetic Resonance Spectroscopy Features of the Visual Pathways in Patients with GlaucomaAbstractPurpose
The aim of the study was to investigate any metabolic changes on magnetic resonance spectroscopy (MRS) throughout the visual pathway of the brain in patients with glaucoma and a control group and correlate the results with clinical findings.
Material and Methods
A total of 87 patients were enrolled in the study, 30 healthy controls, 25 glaucoma, 16 suspected glaucoma (GS) and 16 ocular hypertension (OHT) patients. A single voxel MRS on TE 30 ms was performed by placing the volume of interest (VOI) on the corpus geniculatum laterale (CGL) and primary visual cortex (VC). Peak values of metabolites, such as N‑acetyl aspartate (NAA), creatine (Cr), choline (Cho) and Myo-inositol (Ins) were investigated on MRS. The MRS results were correlated with age, intraocular pressure (IOP), retinal nerve fiber length (RNFL), mean deviation (MD) and cup disk ratio (CD).
Results
The NAA values obtained from the CGL in glaucoma and GS cases were lower than the healthy control group. The Cho values at CGL in glaucoma were lower than GS and controls. There was a negative correlation between NAA values of the VC and CD in glaucoma cases. Additionally, there was a negative correlation between age and RNFL in both glaucoma and GS cases.
Conclusion
The use of MRS can reveal neurodegeneration in CGL and VC in patients with glaucoma. Depiction of metabolic changes throughout the visual pathways via MRS will guide the treatment planning and follow-up in glaucoma and GS cases.
