Innovative Treatments for Cerebrovascular Disease

Rapid innovation in recent years has given neurosurgeons a broad array of tools and techniques to treat cerebrovascular disease, the fifth leading cause of death in the United States and a primary source of serious, long-term disability.

“We have many more ways today to protect and restore blood flow and oxygen to the brain,” says Zeguang Ren, MD, PhD, a board-certified vascular and endovascular neurosurgeon with Cleveland Clinic Martin Health, who uses his unique dual expertise in open and endovascular surgery to identify and provide the best treatment options for patients.

Blocked, Broken, Bulging and Tangled

Stroke is the most common form of cerebrovascular disease, but other conditions affect blood vessels and the flow of blood in the brain, including aneurysms and vascular malformations.

• Stroke is a sudden interruption of blood flow to the brain that can be caused by a blockage (ischemic) or by bleeding in the brain (hemorrhagic). While ischemic strokes account for about 80% of all stroke cases, hemorrhagic strokes are often deadlier.

• Brain aneurysm occurs when a blood vessel in the brain weakens and the vessel wall balloons out. Causes include high blood pressure, fatty deposits in the arteries, head trauma and congenital defects. Ruptured brain aneurysms are fatal in about 50% of cases.

• Vascular malformations are abnormal connections between blood vessels. Arteriovenous malformations (AVMs), for example, are a tangle of poorly formed blood vessels with a higher rate of bleeding than normal vessels. Untreated

AVMs can cause hemorrhage and brain damage. thrombectomy. During this procedure, a large bore aspiration tube can be used to suck out the blockage-causing clot, or a Zeguang Ren, MD, PhD mechanical retrieval device can be used to pull the clot out to restore blood flow. “This minimally invasive treatment can be more effective for blockages of a certain size or location than the traditional clot-busting medication,” notes Dr. Ren. Endovascular techniques are also used to treat some brain aneurysms and vascular malformations when the risk of open surgery is too high or if they are located in unreachable parts of the brain. “We can insert tiny coils or use a mesh or wire tube to close off an aneurysm in a vessel wall, use a liquid bioadhesive to seal an abnormal or damaged vessel, and divert blood flow to prevent further harm,” he adds.

State-of-the-Art Imaging

Much of today’s treatment advancements are made possible because of innovative imaging technology. Dr. Ren and his colleagues at Cleveland Clinic Martin Health use a neurointerventional biplane imaging system to capture 3D views of blood vessels in the brain. “This technology provides precise brain imaging, making it easier to diagnose and treat stroke, aneurysms and other cerebrovascular conditions,” says Dr. Ren. “For patients it often means a shorter hospitalization and faster recovery.”

Advanced Endovascular Treatments

One recent advancement is an endovascular or catheterbased treatment for acute stroke called a mechanical The multidisciplinary team of interventional neurologists, neurosurgeons, neuroradiologists, neurointensivists and rehabilitation specialists at Cleveland Clinic Martin Health are experts in the treatment and management of cerebrovascular disease.
