Background: It is required to anticipate cerebral hyperperfusion syndrome (CHS) following carotid artery stenting (CAS). Purpose: The purpose of our retrospective study was to investigate whether or not blood sampling oxygen extraction fraction (OEF) and post-CAS CBF increase in SPECT had relation to CHS following CAS. Methods: Included in our analysis were patients (1) who underwent elective CAS in our institution between October 2010 and May 2014, and (2) who underwent blood sampling for OEF calculation before and immediately after CAS, and (3) who underwent SPECT before and just after CAS. OEF was calculated from cerebral arteriovenous oxygen difference. Arterial blood was sampled from the common carotid artery and venous blood from the dominant-sided superior jugular bulb. CHS was defined as pulsatile headaches, restlessness, convulsion, and/or new neurological symptoms not due to cerebral ischemia within seven days following CAS. CBF was measured before and just after CAS. CBF increase in the CAS side was defined as follows; (post-CAS CBF ratio - pre-CAS CBF ratio) of more than 10%, where CBF ratio was defined as CAS-sided fronto-parietal CBF divided by ipsilateral cerebellar CBF (%). Evaluated were baseline features in patients, pre-CAS OEF, post-CAS OEF, CBF ratio, CBF increase and CHS. Results: During the study period, 134 patients matched our criteria for analysis. Pre-CAS OEF was 0.41+-0.06, post-CAS OEF was 0.42+-0.08, pre-CAS CBF ratio: 88.7+-15.4%, CBF increase: 1.86+-12.3%. Nine patients presented CHS. Among them, pre-CAS OEF, CBF ratio and CBF increase were significant. ROC curves showed that pre-CAS OEF of 0.46 (p<0.001, OR: 9.3), CBF ratio of 92%(p<0.05, OR: 6.5), CBF increase of 8.8% (p<0.005, OR: 6.6) were cut-off values. Among 10 patients with pre-CAS OEF of more than 0.46 and CBF increase of more than 8.8%, 4 patients presented CHS (p<0.0001, OR;15.9). Conclusion: Elevation of pre-CAS OEF and increase of post-CAS CBF were strongly related to CHS.

Object Intracranial hemorrhage associated with cerebral hyperperfusion syndrome (CHS) following carotid endarterectomy (CEA) or carotid artery stenting (CAS) is a rare but potentially devastating complication. In the present study the authors evaluated 4494 patients with carotid artery stenosis who had undergone CEA or CAS to clarify the clinicopathological features and outcomes of those with CHS and associated intracranial hemorrhage. Methods Patients with postoperative CHS were retrospectively selected, and clinicopathological features and outcomes were studied. Results Sixty-one patients with CHS (1.4%) were identified, and intracranial hemorrhage developed in 27 of them (0.6%). The onset of CHS peaked on the 6th postoperative day in those who had undergone CEA and within 12 hours in those who had undergone CAS. Results of logistic regression analysis demonstrated that poor postoperative control of blood pressure was significantly associated with the development of intracranial hemorrhage in patients with CHS after CEA (p = 0.0164). Note, however, that none of the tested variables were significantly associated with the development of intracranial hemorrhage in patients with CHS after CAS. Mortality (p = 0.0010) and morbidity (p = 0.0172) rates were significantly higher in patients with intracranial hemorrhage than in those without. Conclusions Cerebral hyperperfusion syndrome after CEA and CAS occurs with delayed classic and acute presentations, respectively. Although strict control of postoperative blood pressure prevents intracranial hemorrhage in patients with CHS after CEA, there appears to be no relationship between blood pressure control and intracranial hemorrhage in those with CHS after CAS. Finally, the prognosis of CHS in patients with associated intracerebral hemorrhage is poor.

Cerebral hyperperfusion syndrome (CHS) is a serious complication following carotid artery stenting (CAS), but definitive early prediction of CHS has not been established. Here, we evaluated whether indocyanine green kinetics and near-infrared spectroscopy (ICG-NIRS) with hyperventilation (HV) and the breath-holding (BH) test can predict hyperperfusion phenomenon after CAS. The blood flow index (BFI) ratio during HV and BH was prospectively monitored using ICG-NIRS in 66 patients scheduled to undergo CAS. Preoperative cerebrovascular reactivity (CVR) and the postoperative asymmetry index (AI) were also assessed with single-photon emission computed tomography before and after CAS and the correlation with the BFI HV/rest ratio, BFI BH/rest ratio was evaluated. Twelve cases (18%) showed hyperperfusion phenomenon, and one (1.5%) showed CHS after CAS. A significant linear correlation was observed between the BFI HV/rest ratio, BFI BH/rest ratio, and preoperative CVR. A significant linear correlation was observed between the BFI HV/rest ratio and postoperative AI (r = 0.674, P < 0.0001). A BFI HV/rest ratio of 0.88 or more was the optimal cut-off point to predict hyperperfusion phenomenon according to receiver operating characteristic curve analyses. HV and BH test under ICG-NIRS is a useful tool for detection of hyperperfusion phenomenon in patients who underwent CAS.

Abstract BACKGROUND: Cerebral hyperperfusion syndrome sometimes occurs after carotid revascularization in patients with severe hemodynamic failure. To prevent cerebral hyperperfusion syndrome, cerebral hyperperfusion phenomenon (CHP) must be detected early. Single-photon emission computed tomography (SPECT) is useful for detecting CHP, but it is impractical on a daily basis. A tool with high availability to find CHP is desired. OBJECTIVE: To investigate whether global oxygen extraction fraction (OEF) by a blood sampling method is useful for indicating CHP after carotid artery stenting (CAS). METHODS: When patients underwent elective CAS from September 2010 to August 2012, we performed blood sampling for OEF calculation and SPECT before and immediately after elective CAS. Data were collected prospectively. OEF was calculated from the cerebral arteriovenous oxygen difference. Cerebral blood flow was measured in the affected middle cerebral artery (MCA) territory and in the ipsilateral cerebellum by SPECT. The ratio of MCA to cerebellar activity was defined as cerebral blood flow in the affected MCA territory divided by cerebral blood flow in the ipsilateral cerebellar hemisphere. Probable CHP was defined as ≥10% increase in the ratio of MCA to cerebellar activity after CAS. The relationship between peri-CAS OEF and probable CHP was evaluated. RESULTS: Of the 96 patients enrolled, 92 patients were analyzed. Probable CHP occurred in 17 patients. Post-CAS OEF was related to probable CHP (P &lt; .01), but pre-CAS OEF was not. The receiver-operating characteristic curve showed that the cutoff value was 45% for probable CHP (P &lt; .001). CONCLUSION: An increase in blood sampling OEF immediately after CAS was related to probable CHP; then the oxygen demand should be reduced.
