Risk Of Hemorrhage

The object of this study was to describe a unique method of managing ventriculostomy catheters in patients on antithrombotic therapy following endovascular treatment of ruptured intracranial aneurysms. The authors retrospectively reviewed 3 cases in which a unique method of ventriculostomy management was used to successfully avoid catheter-related hemorrhage while the patient was on dual antiplatelet therapy. In this setting, ventriculostomy catheters are left in place and fixed to the calvarium with titanium straps effectively ligating them. The catheter is divided and the distal end is removed. The proximal end can be directly connected to a distal shunt system during this stage or at a later date if necessary. The method described in this report provided a variety of management options for patients requiring external ventricular drainage for subarachnoid hemorrhage. No patient suffered catheter-related hemorrhage. This preliminary report demonstrates a safe and effective method for discontinuing external ventricular drainage and/or placing a ventriculoperitoneal shunt in the setting of active coagulopathy or antithrombotic therapy. The technique avoids both the risk of hemorrhage related to catheter removal and reinsertion and the thromboembolic risks associated with the reversal of antithrombotic therapy. Some aneurysm centers have avoided the use of stent-assisted coiling in cases of ruptured aneurysms to circumvent ventriculostomy-related complications; however, the method described herein should allow continued use of this important treatment option in ruptured aneurysm cases. Further investigation in a larger cohort with long-term follow-up is necessary to define the associated risks of infection using this method.

AbstractNeurobiology-based interventions for mental diseases and searches for useful biomarkers of treatment response have largely failed. Clinical trials should assess interventions related to environmental and social stressors, with long-term follow-up; social rather than biological endpoints; personalized outcomes; and suitable cluster, adaptive, and n-of-1 designs. Labor, education, financial, and other social/political decisions should be evaluated for their impacts on mental disease.
