Brief Summary

Complex brain arteriovenous malformations (bAVMs) in ≥3 Spetzler-Martin grades have long been challenges among cerebrovascular diseases. None of the traditional methods, such as microsurgical operation, endovascular intervention, or stereotactic radiotherapy, can completely eliminate complex bAVMs without a risk of neural function deterioration. The multistaged hybrid operation solved part of the challenge but remained risky in the installment procedures and intervals. The one-staged hybrid operation was applied in the surgical treatment of cerebrovascular diseases and proved to be a potentially safe and effective method for curing complex bAVMs. However, lacking the support of high-level evidence, its advantages remain unclear. This study was proposed to validate the benefits and risks of one-staged hybrid operation in the treatment of complex bAVMs, as well as its indications, key technologies, and workflows.

Study Arms (2)

Traditional microsurgery group

OTHER

Patients receive only traditional microsurgical operations in traditional operating theaters or the one-staged hybrid operation theater. No endovascular intervention technique or intraoperative digital subtraction angiography(DSA) will be performed. The DSA will be performed in 3 days after the operation.

Procedure: Traditional microsurgical operation

Hybrid operation group

EXPERIMENTAL

Patients receive microsurgical operation under the assistance of intraoperative DSA, endovascular embolization and/or balloon occlusion in the one-staged hybrid operating theater.

Procedure: one-staged hybrid operation

Interventions

An integrated procedure that consists of microsurgery, intraoperative DSA, endovascular intervention techniques and other assistance tools. All the procedures are performed in a one-staged operation without any intermission or any transfer of patients.

Hybrid operation group

The classical mode of operations in neurosurgery. The operation is performed with neurosurgical instruments and microscope. Some of assisting tools can be used in the operation, such as neuro-navigation, Doppler probe, neural electrophysiological monitoring and so on. But neither the intraoperative DSA nor endovascular intervention techniques is used in the operation

Eligibility Criteria

AgeUp to 70 Years
Sexall
Healthy VolunteersNo
Age GroupsChild (0-17), Adult (18-64), Older Adult (65+)

You may qualify if:

  • patients of all ages;
  • diagnosed with arteriovenous malformations (AVMs) in brain parenchyma (including cerebrum and cerebellum) by DSA, with/without dura arteriovenous fistula;
  • with any operative indications as follows: (1) with stable hematoma or history of hemorrhage due to bAVMs, and allowed selective operation; (2) with recurrent epilepsy seizure, having failed treatment with antiepileptic drugs (AEDs); (3) with induced deterioration of neurological functions;
  • with Spetzler-Martin Grades from I to IV;
  • who provide informed consent.

You may not qualify if:

  • \>70 years old with no significant hemorrhagic risk of bAVMs;
  • with Spetzler-Martin Grade ≥V;
  • accompanied by severe chronic disease, organ dysfunction, or malignant tumor that cannot tolerate the operation;
  • allergic to iodinated contrast agent;
  • unable to give informed consent.
