Abstract WMP25: Periprocedural Predictors of Acute Ischemic Stroke and Mortality in Endovascular Treatment of Unruptured Intracranial Aneurysm

Abstract

Introduction: Periprocedural risk of ischemic stroke (IS) in patients undergoing endovascular treatment for unruptured intracranial aneurysms (EUIA) can be as high as 40%, with clinically significant strokes occurring in 3-10% of patients. There is limited data on how typical vascular risk factors can increase peri-procedural risk of IS and mortality in patients undergoing EUIA. Methods: We queried the Healthcare Cost and Utilization Project's (HCUP) Nationwide Inpatient Sample (NIS) data between 2004 and 2012. ICD-9 codes 437.3 (intracerebral unruptured aneurysm) and 39.72 (endovascular repair/embolization of head and neck vessel) were used to identify the study population. Multivariate logistic regression model was used to identify independent predictors of IS and mortality after controlling confounders including age, race, sex, atrial fibrillation (Afib), diseases of endocardium, alcohol, smoking, diabetes mellitus, hypertension, use of anticoagulants, use of antiplatelet agents, carotid artery stenosis, atherosclerosis and hyperlipidemia. We also investigated whether Afib, DM, hypertension and hyperlipidemia in possible combinations further increased the risk of IS and mortality. Results: A total of 50,478 EUC cases were identified, of which 10,600 (20.9%) reported an IS event. A total of 661 (0.01%) died of which 115 (17.4%) had an IS event. After controlling for confounders, age >70 (OR 1.521 95% CI 1.145- 2.020, P< 0.01) and diabetes (OR 1.426, 95%CI 1.092-1.861, p 70 (OR 2.472, CI 1.616-3.782, p<.01)and Afib (OR 2.697, CI 1.509-4.819, p<.01) independently increased risk of mortality in endovascular treated patients. A fib, DM, hypertension and hyperlipidemia in different potential combinations did not increase peri-procedural risk of IS and mortality. Conclusions: In patients undergoing EUIA, Age >70 is an independent risk factor for IS and mortality. Diabetes independently increased risk of IS but not mortality; Afib independently increased risk of mortality but not IS.
