Global cerebral infarction after aortic arch replacement surgery in a patient with postoperatively revealed factor XII deficiency: a case report by Keisuke Yoshida, Shiori Tanaka, Yuki Sato, Kazuhiro Watanabe, Kenichi Muramatsu, Masahiro Murakawa

“…Conclusions Factor XII deficiency should be considered in patients with prolonged activated clotting time and spontaneous thrombosis in vascular surgeries. Moreover, the present case emphasizes that management of heparin during cardiopulmonary bypass should not be performed on the basis of activated clotting time monitoring alone, especially in a case with prolonged activated clotting time.…”

Abstract 036: Diagnostic Accuracy of IONM for Perioperative Strokes during Endovascular Treatment of Ruptured Intracranial Aneurysms by Abdullah M Al Qudah, Ammar Bata, Katherine Anetakis, Donald J Crammond, Varun Shandal, Bradley A Gross, Michael R Lang, Alhamza R Al‐Bayati, Nirav R Bhatt, Raul G Nogueira, Parthasarathy D Thirumala, Jeffery R Balzer

“…Introduction Ruptured aneurysmal SAH accounts up to 80% of nontraumatic SAH, with more than 80% located in the anterior circulation and a mortality rate upwards of 50%.1‐3 Endovascular treatment (EVT) of ruptured intracranial aneurysms (rIA) is increasingly being recognized as a standard treatment that may result in better early outcomes and independency when compared with open neurosurgical clipping in cases of appropriate equipoise.1,2,4–6 Despite this, EVT of intracranial aneurysms has its own risk of complications including intraoperative rupture and thromboembolic events.7 The complication rate is found to be higher in cases of rIA than that seen in cases of unruptured intracranial aneurysms.8 The use of somatosensory evoked potentials (SSEP) and electroencephalography (EEG) intraoperative neuromonitoring (IONM) have proven their efficacy in identifying iatrogenic neurological complications in vascular surgeries including carotid endarterectomy 9–11, EVT and microsurgical treatment of intracranial aneurysms. 11,12 rIA have their own unique challenges due to preoperative neurological deficits and perioperative vasospasm making it more difficult to identify new neurological deficits after the procedure. …”
