Thrombus Aspiration and Sequential Stenting in Bilateral Carotid Arteries for a Patient with Takayasu Arteritis Tianjin First Center Hospital Lu Chengzhi Guo qianyu Chen xin 天津市第一中心医院心内科 卢成志 郭倩玉 陈欣
History • Female,36 years old • Chief complaint: intermittent amaurosis for one month, arose from exertion, accompanied with tumbling • Past history: Takayasu arteritis and pulmonary fibrosis for 3 years under oral prednisone management
Physical Examination • RUE/LUE pulseless, LLE pressure 170/80 mmHg, RLE pressure 130/80 mmHg • III/6 systolic murmurs in left carotid artery. Both lung clear. HR 72 bpm,regular rhythm, no murmurs.
Laboratory Investigations • Blood Rt:Hb 110g/L WBC6.1X109/L • Liver function and renal function: normal • TC 6.31mmol/L TG 1.64mmol/L • ESR:18mm/h • CRP: 0.76mg/dl • Immune antibodies: SSB(+) SSA(+) ANA: 1:100 others:(-)
Auxiliary Examinations • ECG:normal • UCG: normal
Angiography Examination • CAG:40% stenosis in LM ostium LAD normal LCX normal RCA normal • Ceberal angiography:: Brachiocephalic trunk occlusive. Left carotid artery subtotal occlusive. Left subclavian artery: 90% stenosis left vertebral artery: 95% stenosis in ostium
Left carotid artery subtotal occlusive Left subclavian artery: 90% stenosis left vertebral artery: 95% stenosis in ostium Brachiocephalic trunk occlusive
Treatment strategy • Conservative therapy? • Interventional therapy? • Carotidendarterectomy?
Treatment strategy • Medication:prednisone cyclophophamide • Interventional therapy: first step: stent in right carotid artery second step: stent in left carotid artery
Stenting in right carotid artery(2009-05-25) • Approach:right femoral artery • Equipment: 8F MPA1 Guiding catheter guide wire distal end protective umbrella 2.0×20mm×mm Avion balloon thrombus aspiration catheter 5.0×40mm Submarine balloon 7.0×40mm Precise stent
2.0×20 balloon dilation After dilation
Distal end potective unmbrella 5.0×40mm balloon
After thrombus aspiration before aspiration Thrombus
7.0×40 Precise stent Post dilation
Postoperative treatment • Aspirin 300 mg and clopidogrel 75 mg • Nifedipine to control BP • Prednisone • The patient’s ESR rose transiently and then fell normal, she didn’t feel dizziness or amaurosis any more.
Stenting in left carotid artery(2009-06-22) • Approach:right femoral artery • Equipment: 8F MPA1 Guiding catheter 2 guide wire 2.0×20mm×mm Invatec balloon distal end protective umbrella 5.0×30mm Invatec balloon 7.0×40mm Cordis stent
right carotid artery Before operation 2.0×20mm×mm Invatec balloon
5.0×30mm Invatec balloon 7.0×40mm Cordis stent Final result
Discussion • Endovascular interventional therapy: an approach to occlusive lesion of arteritis: Is it a suitable option? • Thrombus aspiration: the first attempt dealing with thrombotic complications of stenting in carotid: Is it a lucky hit or a mandatory practice? • medication or stenting in subclavian artery: Is it done or overdone? • Antiplatlete therapy: duration and dosage.
Follow up • No dizzness or amaurosis until now • ESR 15-25 mm • Medication: prednisone 5 mg QD Aspirin 100 mg clopidogrel 75 mg QD for 6 Months • 8 month later CTA examination
8 months later CTA show restenosis Stent in right carotid artery
Discussion • What to do with restenosis now: Intervention: bilateral balloon dilation? Conservative treatment? Carotidendarterectomy?
