Cerebral aneurysmCerebral aneurysm
Saccular (Berry) Aneurysm
Saccular aneurysms occur at the bifurcations of the large to median-sized intracranial arteries.
The risk of rupture of an aneurysm <7 mm in diameter is 0.05% per year, far less than the 5% to 10% risk of major complications with intervention, either by coiling or clipping.
Incidentally discovered small aneurysms should be re-evaluated periodically for enlargement.
Treatment with aspirin does not increase the risk of aneurysmal rupture. Aspirin may be associated with more bleeding if the aneurysm ruptures spontaneously, but may reduce complications such as vasospasm.

Atherosclerosis • 動脈硬化斑塊可分為兩種 : 一種為穩定的動脈硬化斑塊 一種為不穩定的動脈硬化斑塊。 泡沫細胞所分泌的發炎物質會分解基質而造成纖維外膜的
脆弱,並藉由破壞平滑肌細胞而使得外膜無法修補。當不穩定的動脈硬化斑塊產生裂縫時,內皮細胞會暴露出下層的細胞外基質,暴露的細胞外基質和血小板受體結合之後會造成血小板的活化 (activation) ,導致醣蛋白 IIb-IIIa 暴露出和纖維蛋白原結合的部位,使得纖維蛋白原將血小板拉在一起而造成血小板的凝集 (aggregation) 。
血栓表面會有促進凝血的作用,如果再加上動脈斑表現出組織因子 (tissue factor) ,會使凝血路徑啟動進而導致thrombin 的生成。
Thrombin 對於血小板是一個強力的引發劑 (inducer) ,造成血小板內部 ADP (adenosine diphosphate) 及TXA2 (thromboxane A2) 的釋放因而導致更多的血小板活化及附著至血栓處,使得血栓擴大而引起血管阻塞。
AHA Classification of Atherosclerotic Plaque
(Circulation. 2002;106:1368.)
Type I: initial lesion with foam cells Type I–II: near-normal wall thickness, no calcificationType II: fatty streak with multiple foam
cell layers
Type III: preatheroma with extracellular lipid pools
Type III: diffuse intimal thickening or small eccentric plaque with no calcification
Type IV: atheroma with a confluent extracellular lipid core
Type IV–V: plaque with a lipid or necrotic core surrounded by fibrous tissue with possible calcificationType V: fibroatheroma
Type VI: complex plaque with possible surface defect, hemorrhage, or thrombus
Type VI: complex plaque with possible surface defect, hemorrhage, or thrombus
Type VII: calcified plaque Type VII: calcified plaque
Type VIII: fibrotic plaque without lipid core
Type VIII: fibrotic plaque without lipid core and with possible small calcifications
Classification of Human Carotid Atherosclerotic Lesions With In
Vivo Multicontrast Magnetic Resonance Imaging (Circulation. 2002;106:1368.)
• Sixty patients (mean age 70 years; 54 males) scheduled for carotid endarterectomy were imaged with 4 different contrast-weighted MRI (time of flight and T1-, PD-, and T2-weighted) of the carotid arteries.
• Carotid plaques were removed intact and processed for histological examination.
• The sensitivity and specificity, respectively, of MRI classification were as follows: type I-II lesions, 67% and 100%; type III lesions, 81% and 98%; type IV-V lesions, 84% and 90%; type VI lesions, 82% and 91%; type VII lesions, 80% and 94%; and type VIII lesions, 56% and 100%.
• Conclusions—high-resolution multicontrast MRI is capable of classifying intermediate to advanced atherosclerotic lesions in the human carotid artery and is also capable of distinguishing advanced lesions from early and intermediate atherosclerotic plaque.
Type IV-V
Type VI
Duplex ultrasonography plus magnetic resonance angiography
• 8% false-positive rate for Doppler (not duplex) evaluation. false-negative rate could not be evaluated • Magnetic resonance angiography tends to overestimate the
degree of stenosis. (J Neurol Neurosurg Psychiatry. 1994; 57:1466-78)
• Transcranial Doppler ultrasound and magnetic resonance angiography identify 50 to 99% intracranial large vessel stenoses with substantial negative predictive value. The methods reliably exclude the presence of intracranial stenosis. Abnormal findings require a confirmatory test such as angiography to reliably identify stenosis. (The Stroke Outcomes and Neuroimaging of Intracranial Atherosclerosis trial SONIA)
64-slice CT• 64 排電腦斷層掃描儀,對於冠狀動脈狹窄
的偵測已有 85 至 99 %的敏感度,特異性達 95 至 98 %,因而對於冠心病的正確診斷,並不亞於傳統侵入性的心導管檢查
64-slice CT demonstrated a sensitivity of 93%, specificity of 96%, and positive and negative predictive values of 78% and 98%, respectively, for detecting significant coronary stenosis on a segment-by-segment basis (Society of North America 92nd Scientific Assembly and Annual Meeting; November 26-December 1, 2006; Chicago, Illinois.

鈣化指數計量 (CACS)
鈣化指數計量與冠心病• CS= 0 代表沒有鈣化的粥樣硬化斑塊,這意味著並沒有有意義的冠狀動脈狹窄而且至少未來 3 年會有冠心病的可能性非常低。但這並不能絕對地排除或減少可能因軟性的、非鈣化的粥樣硬化斑塊所造成的冠心病機率。

Mayo Clinic Proceedings, 1999 Carr JJ, et. Al, AJR 2000
冠狀動脈鈣化( CAC)指數與冠狀動脈電腦斷層血管攝影術診斷率如何?
1. CAC診斷冠心病的診斷率其敏感性為 81%~ 88%,專一性為 52%~ 61%,如果指數為 0 時,不具有冠心病的準確度也可達 92%。
2. 冠狀動脈 CTA的診斷率如以大於 2mm的管徑言,其血管阻塞率達 50%以上之診斷敏感性為 95%,專一性為 86%。
Composition of the stable carotid plaque Insights from a multidetector computed tomography study of the plaque volumn
• The proportion of carotid plaque calcification, rather than absolute volume, is associated with stability in patients with stenosis.
• Plaque calcification 45% of the total volume may represent a clinically useful cutoff.
• The carotid plaque calcium ratio, determined by multidetector computed tomography volume measurements, may help noninvasively risk stratify patients with asymptomatic stenosis.

EVIDENCE-BASED EVIDENCE-BASED MEDICINEMEDICINE
A stroke patient with moderate (50-69%) carotid stenosis
A 65 year old man with a stroke. He has mild weakness of the right arm and right leg. We send the patient for CT angiogram and receive the report that he has moderate stenosis (50-69% by NASCET criteria---the narrowest protion of the vascular lumen
compared with the normalized lumen distally) of the ipsilateral carotid artery.

In a 65 year old man with stroke and moderate carotid stenosis, can carotid endarterectomy decrease the risk of stroke or outcome of death compared with medical therapy?
Endarterectomy in patients with symptomatic carotid stenosis
~13% per year stroke rate• Patients with stenosis of less than 50 percent
did not benefit from surgery. • patients with symptomatic moderate carotid
stenosis of 50 to 69 percent yielded only a moderate reduction in the risk of stroke.
• Patients with severe stenosis (> or =70 percent) had a durable benefit from endarterectomy at eight years of follow-up.
NASCET (the North American Symptomatic Carotid Endarterectomy Trial) and ECST (the European Carotid Surgery Trial) N Engl J Med. 1998 Nov 12;339(20):1415-25
• In Patient s with a stenosis > 70%, the stroke risk at 2 years was
26% for patient treated medically 9% for the same medical treatment
plus a carotid enderectomy
• This 17% absolute reduction in the surgical group is a 65% relative risk reduction favoring surgery
• Harm for patients with stenosis in the 0 to 30% treated surgically
Endarterectomy in patients with asymptomatic carotid stenosis≥60%
~2% per year stroke rate
• The surgical group had a risk over 5 years for ipsilateral stroke is 5.1%, compared to a risk in the aspirin group of 11% (half of the stroke in the surgical group were caused by preoperative angiogram)
• 53% relative risk reduction and 5.9% absolute risk reduction over 5 years and 1.2% annually
ACAS (Asymptomatic Carotid Atherosclerosis Study) andACST (Asymptomatic Carotid Surgery Trial)
Endarterectomy in patients with asymptomatic carotid stenosis≥60%
• Carotid endarterectomy is controversial
• Medical therapy for reduction of atherosclerosis risk factors, including cholestrol-lowering agents and antiplatelet medications is recommended

• Retrospective study of 519 patients with severe thoracic aortic plaque> 4 mm found that statins (OR, 0.39; 95% CI, 0.24 to 0.62; p = 0.0001), but not oral
anticoagulation (OR, 1.18; 95% CI, 0.91 to 1.54; p = 0.21) or antiplatelet therapy (OR, 0.77; 95% CI, 0.51 to 1.15; p = 0.20) had a significant protective effect against recurrent embolism.
