摘要

The value of intravascular ultrasound (IVUS) in the diagnosis and treatment of the venous system is not well established. Introducing a novel approach to utilizing IVUS to evaluate cerebral venous sinus (CVS) stenosis and select stent. Idiopathic intracranial hypertension (IIH) patients with CVS stenosis who underwent IVUS-guided stenting were included in the data analysis from January 2014 to February 2022. The degree of maximum stenosis was determined based on the cross-sectional area (CSA) measured by IVUS, and a stent selection method was applied in the study. Follow-up evaluations were conducted at 6 months to 1 year after endovascular treatment to assess symptom improvement. Additionally, repeated digital subtraction angiography (DSA) or Magnetic resonance venography (MRV) / CT venography（CTV） was performed to evaluate the stent patency at 6 months to 1 year post-procedure. The study included 61 patients. IVUS indicated a lower degree of stenosis compared to conventional DSA measurements when evaluating the degree of stenotic segments preprocedure (74.84 ± 10.12% vs. 78.48 ± 8.72%, p = 0.035). Post-procedural CSA of the most severe stenotic segments showed significant improvement (36.44 ± 8.07 mm2 vs. 7.42 ± 3.28 mm2, p < 0.001). The stent achieved complete expansion (mean stent expansion index, 0.93 ± 0.20) with no significant change in the structure of the reference segment. The trans-stenotic mean pressure gradients (MPGs) across 61 patients significantly decreased from 11.00 ± 6.23 mmHg to 2.09 ± 2.34 mmHg. 47 out of 61 patients received imaging follow-up; among them, 44 (93.6%) demonstrated stent patency in the follow-up imaging. IVUS has great potential to evaluate the degree and extent of CVS stenosis, assist stent selection, and optimize stent position during the interventional procedure in conjunction with DSA.
