BrainPath-Mediated Resection of a Ruptured Subcortical Arteriovenous Malformation.
Operative Neurosurgery (Hagerstown, Md.) 2018 July 2
BACKGROUND: Although tubular retractor systems have gained popularity for other indications, there have been few reports of their use for arteriovenous malformation (AVM) surgery. A patient was diagnosed with a ruptured 1.2-cm subcortical AVM after presenting with intracerebral hemorrhage in the right frontal lobe and anterior basal ganglia. The characteristics of this AVM made it amenable to resection using a tubular retractor.
OBJECTIVE: To demonstrate the feasibility and safety of AVM resection using a tubular retractor system.
METHODS: Resection of the ruptured 1.2-cm subcortical AVM was performed utilizing the BrainPathTM (NICO corp, Indianapolis, Indiana) tubular retractor system.
RESULTS: The BrainPathTM approach provided sufficient visualization and surgical freedom to permit successful AVM resection and hematoma evacuation. Postoperative imaging demonstrated near total hematoma removal and angiographic obliteration of the AVM. There were no complications, and the patient made an excellent recovery.
CONCLUSION: Tubular retractors warrant consideration for accessing small, deep, ruptured AVMs. The nuances of such systems and their role in AVM surgery are discussed.
