Использование жидких гемостатических матриц для предупреждения кров оизлияний при выполнении стереотаксической биопсии опухолей головного мозга

Цель исследования. Разработка способа предупреждения кровоизлияний при выполнении стереотаксической биопсии опухоли головного мозга с использованием жидких гемостатических матриц на примере препарата «Floseal®». Пациенты и методы. Цель биопсии – наиболее репрезентативный участок опухолевой ткани по данным различных модальностей МРТ нейровизуализации, в том числе и с контрастным усилением. Из 133 пациентов в изучаемую группу включено 60 больных с признаками интраоперационного кровотечения по канюле биопсийной иглы. Далее, методом независимой последовательной рандомизации пациенты с признаками интраоперационного кровотечения по канюле биопсийной иглы разделены на 2 подгруппы. Контрольная подгруппа (n = 45): случаи с признаками интраоперационного кровотечения различной степени выраженности, оперированы по стандартной методике, без использования жидкого гемостатического препарата «Floseal®». Основная подгруппа (n = 15): при интраоперационных признаках кровотечения в зону изъятия опухолевого материала осуществлялось введение гемостатического текучего препарата «Floseal®». Результаты. У 6,7 % пациентов контрольной подгруппы в послеоперационном периоде отмечено формирование массивных внутримозговых кровоизлияний. В 53,3 % наблюдений контрольной подгруппы по данным рентген компьютерных исследований головного мозга имелись признаки незначительных кровоизлияний в точке забора опухолевого материала, не требовавшие повторных оперативных вмешательств. Послеоперационные кровоизлияния после введения в биопсийную иглу жидкой гемостатической матрицы «Floseal®» в основной подгруппе по данным РКТ нейровизуализации не выявлены. Заключение. Разработан способ гемостаза для предупреждения кровоизлияний с использованием жидких гемостатических матриц. При появлении признаков кровотечения из биопсийной иглы введение гемостатической матрицы в объеме 2 мл способствует остановке кровотечения интраоперационно, а также профилактике возникновения кровоизлияния в раннем послеоперационном периоде.

ABSTRACT

Purpose of the study. Development of a method for

preventing hemorrhages during stereotactic

biopsy of a brain tumor using

liquid hemostatic matrices on the example of the drug "Floseal�".

Patients and methods. The target of the biopsy is the most representative area of tumor tissue according to the data of various

modalities of MRI neuroimaging, including contrast-enhanced ones. Out of 133 patients, 60 patients with signs of intraoperative

bleeding along the biopsy needle cannula were included in the study group. Further, patients with signs of intraoperative bleeding

along the cannula of the biopsy needle were divided into 2 subgroups by independent sequential randomization. Control

subgroup (n = 45): cases with signs of intraoperative bleeding of varying severity were operated on, according to the standard

technique, without the use of the liquid hemostatic drug Floseal�. The main subgroup (n =

15): in

case

of intraoperative

signs

of bleeding, the hemostatic fluid drug Floseal� was injected into the area of tumor material removal.

Results. In 6.7 % of patients of the control subgroup, the formation of massive intracerebral hemorrhages was noted in the

postoperative period. In 53.3 % of the observations of the control subgroup according to X-ray computer examinations of the

brain, there were signs of minor hemorrhages at the point of tumor material collection, which did not require repeated surgical

interventions. Postoperative hemorrhages after injection of the Floseal� liquid hemostatic matrix into the biopsy needle in the

study subgroup were not detected according to neuroimaging X-ray CT.

Conclusion. A method of hemostasis has been developed to prevent hemorrhages using liquid hemostatic

matrices. If signs

of bleeding from the biopsy needle appeare, the introduction of a hemostatic matrix in the volume of 2 ml helps to manage

bleeding intraoperatively, as well as to prevent the occurrence of hemorrhage in the early postoperative period.

localized in

functionally significant

areas

of the brain [1�4].

Given the lack of visual intraoperative control of

the

needle

trajectory, a

serious

complication

after

STB, is hemorrhage in biopsy material withdrawal

as well as along the path of access of the biopsy

needle, despite the intervention being minimally in

vasive [5�9].

The purpose of the study was to

develop a method

for preventing hemorrhages during stereotactic

biopsy of a

brain

tumor using liquid hemostatic matrices

using the example of the drug "Floseal�".

PATIENTS AND METHODS

From 2014 to 2020 133 patients with brain tumors

were operated on using the method of frameless

needle stereotactic biopsy. Informed consent

for surgical intervention was obtained from

all participants of the study. In our observations,

tumor diseases manifested from 5 to 80 years. The

average age of the patients was 56 years. 57 % were

men and 43 % were women. 75.5 % were operated

on with single foci of brain damage, 10.5 % with

two foci. 14

%

of patients had multiple unverified

CNS lesions.

Neoplasms in 28.3 % of cases were localized in

subcortical structures of the brain, in 18.3 % � in

various parts of the corpus callosum with bilateral

distribution, in 53.4 % of cases in periventricular ar

eas under

functionally

significant areas of

the brain.

Neurological symptoms depended on the localization

of the lesion in the brain. Upon admission, the

functional status on the Karnovsky scale of 100�80

points was noted in 71.7 % of patients, 70�50 points

in 21.7 % of patients, and below 40 points was noted

in 6.6

% of cases. All patients underwent a comprehensive

assessment of the hemostasis system in

the preoperative period.

The tissue sampling point was determined by

combining MRT T1 BRAVO with intravenous contrast

enhancement with data from DTI, 2D-TOF, 3D-TOF,

T2, ASL, SWAN modes. If necessary, in the Brainlab

� or Medtronic StealthStation� S7� planning software,

the digital model was combined with DICOM

positron emission tomography (PET CT) data with

11C-methionine. The trajectory of the biopsy needle

insertion was constructed taking into account the

data of tractography, with the localization of the

tumor

in functionally significant areas of the brain

(Fig. 1).

The purpose of the biopsy is the most representative

area of tumor tissue according to various

modalities of MRI neuroimaging, including

contrast enhancement. Surgical intervention was

performed under general anesthesia, according to

the operating regulations of manufacturers of systems

for frameless stereotactic biopsy Brainlab� or

Medtronic StealthStation� S7� using biopsy needles

Biopsy Needle Kit (9733068) or Biopsy Needle Kit

Tip A (41778C).

Control computed tomography was performed

intraoperatively or within 24 hours after surgery.

Out of 133 patients, the study group included 60

patients with signs of intraoperative bleeding through

the cannula of a biopsy needle (45.1

%). Further, by

the method of independent sequential randomization,

patients with signs of intraoperative bleeding

through the cannula of

the use of liquid hemostatic matrices.

The main subgroup (n = 15): with intraoperative

signs

of bleeding, the

hemostatic fluid

drug

"Floseal�" was injected into the area of removal of

tumor material.

The subgroups were comparable in terms of sex,

age, localization and histological types of the tumor.

We analyzed the complications that arose in these

subgroups using the method of X-ray computed

tomography performed in the first 24 hours after

surgery. All necessary patient data were recorded

in the Microsoft Excel electronic database, after

We found that in 6.7 % of patients of the control

subgroup, the formation of massive intracerebral

hemorrhages was noted in the postoperative period

(Fig. 3), requiring repeated surgical interventions,

removal of both intracerebral and intracerebral hemorrhages

with forced cytoreduction of the tumor in

a functionally significant area. The mortality rate in

the control subgroup was 2.2 %.

In 53.3 % of the observations in the control subgroup,

according to X-ray computed studies of the

first

24

hours

after surgery or

intraoperatively, minor hemorrhages were detected

at the point of collection of tumor material, requiring

a delay in the patient's stay in the hospital and

repeated neuroimaging methods (Fig. 4).

The technique of frameless stereotactic needle

biopsy in the main subgroup (n = 15)

was

standard.

If signs of bleeding were noted during the

withdrawal of tumor material

with a biopsy needle,

in the form of the release of blood clots, rare,

frequent drop or jet bleeding, the hemostatic matrix

"Floseal�" was prepared according to the instructions

for use of the drug (Fig. 5). The drug

is approved for use in the territory of the Russian

Federation (RU No. 2019/8305 dated 04/18/2019).

"Floseal�" is widely used in abdominal, vascular, and

neurological

surgical

fields

as

an

applicative

hemostatic [10].

A liquid hemostatic matrix was injected into the

cannula of the inner stylet of the biopsy needle until

it was completely filled. After the cannula was inserted

into the biopsy needle, a hemostatic matrix was

additionally injected in a volume of about 2

ml. We

have established a satisfactory possibility of injecting

this drug into the postoperative cavity through the

needle hole for stereotactic biopsy. Next, the biopsy

needle was removed, the milling hole was filled with

bone chips, ensuring hermetically sealed closure of

the bone defect followed by suturing of soft tissues.

Intraoperatively, or within a few hours after waking

up, the patient underwent CT neuroimaging of the

brain to assess postoperative changes and exclude

hemorrhagic complications (Fig. 6).

Hemorrhages and postoperative complications

were not observed in patients of the main subgroup

(n = 15) (.2 = 3.99; p = 0.0458).

In the control subgroup (n

= 45),

the percentage of

clinically significant hemorrhages was 6.7

%, which

required repeated interventions, removal of both

intracerebral and intracerebral hemorrhages. The

percentage of clinically insignificant

hemorrhages

in the control subgroup was 53.3 %. The mortality

rate in the control subgroup was 2.2 %.

according to the study was 2.8

In other publications with different series of patients,

the risk factors for bleeding after STB are not

clearly defined or were

authors

with varying degrees

of reliability, i. e. with

the localization

of a pathological focus, e. g. in the brain

stem [8, 9], with

liver function, with the malignant nature of a central

nervous system tumor [12, 13].

According to K. K. Kukanov and co-authors, after

performing the control CT neuroimaging, the presence

of hemorrhages was noted in 40 % of the observations

[14]. Of these, clinically insignificant ones

were noted in 25 %, large diffuse hemorrhages with

a clinical

picture in 5

%, intraventricular hemorrhages

with a pronounced clinical picture in 10

% of cases.

Preliminary results of the work have shown that

injection of a thrombin-gelatin matrix is a safe and

effective procedure for the treatment of persistent

surgical bleeding that cannot be performed by

traditional hemostatic methods used in neuro

surgery [12].

The presented studies do not provide a clear idea

of how to improve the safety of performing stereo

tactic

biopsy. The neurosurgeon faces urgent issues:

what

to choose

as

a reliable hemostatic agent, which

method of administration to use, how to calculate

the administered dose of the drug?

Based on the data of our study conducted from

2014

to 2020, a reliable method of hemostasis was
