Objective – to determine the effect of occlusive-stenotic lesions of cerebral arteries on angiospasm and ischemic complications in patients with ruptured arterial aneurysms against the background of occlusive-stenotic lesions of cerebral arteries.
Materials and methods. A retrospective study of the medical histories of 1,147 patients with cerebral artery aneurysms from 2006 to 2022 was conducted. 63 patients were included in the study group because they met the following criteria: surgical treatment; rupture of saccular aneurysms (SAs); the presence of occlusive-stenotic lesions was proven using instrumental examination methods. Patients of the control group had to meet the following criteria: surgical treatment; rupture of SAs; the absence of occlusive-stenotic lesions was proven by means of instrumental examination methods; the gender and age distribution had to match the study group. Of the 126 patients included in this study, there were 76 men (60.32%) and 50 women (39.68%). The age of the patients varied from 31 to 77 years. The average age of patients- 55.9±0.76 years; men – 54.3±0.94 years, women – 58.3±1.19 years.
Results. A percentage predominance of patients with high cerebral blood flow velocity (>200 cm/s, which is equal to the velocity with severe grade III vasospasm of the cerebral arteries) in the study group (32.56%) compared with the control group (24.24%) was revealed.
Conclusions. The predominance of men among patients of the study group (60.32%) was established. The average age of men with occlusive-stenotic lesions was younger than that of women (men – 54.3±0.94 years, women – 58.3±1.19 years). The difference in age is the largest in the 2nd subgroup of the study group where the severity of stenosis is 50-75% (men - 48.3 years; women - 62 years). Ruptures of arterial aneurysms of the middle cerebral artery occur more often in the presence of stenoses (study group - 25.4%, control group - 12.7%). The neurological status of patients with a hemorrhagic stroke, as a result of the rupture of an arterial aneurysm, is significantly aggravated by occlusive-stenotic lesions due to the occurrence of chronic brain ischemia. The worst prognosis for life and health was in men with a ruptured arterial aneurysm against the background of a 50-75% stenotic lesion and severe vasospasm of the cerebral arteries.
