Endovascular treatment of intracranial aneurysms and thoracic aortic aneurysms at One-Stage in a hybrid operating room: A case report

Abstract

The prevalence of intracranial aneurysm (IA) is high in patients with aortic aneurysm (AA) and vice versa rupture will lead to high disability and fatality, thereby becoming a major burden to public health. With the advancement in medical technology and the development of endovascular interventional treatment, which provides a minimally invasive surgical approach in those with aneurysms, it is widely accepted by many patients and is associated with better outcomes than the traditional open surgery. However, endovascular treatment of aneurysms also has its complications, such as bleeding and embolism. Endovascular treatment of IA and AA at one-stage in the traditional intervention room will increase the risk of these complications. Hybrid operating rooms have gradually emerged in recent years and can provide more comprehensive surgical safeguards for complex vascular diseases with a combination of open surgery and endovascular interventional treatment. Therefore, we first report a case in which a patient with IA and thoracic aortic aneurysm (TAA) successfully received endovascular treatment at One-Stage in a hybrid operating room, which provided a paradigm for complex multi-site cardiovascular and cerebrovascular diseases.
