    Prediction of hyperperfusion phenomenon after carotid artery stenting and carotid angioplasty using quantitative DSA with cerebral circulation time imaging; methodological issues

    I was interested to read the paper by Yamauchi K and colleagues published in J Neurointerv Surg 2017 Sep. Hyperperfusion syndrome after carotid interventions has a low incidence but it can lead to morbidity and mortality. The aim of the authors was to evaluate the usefulness of quantitative DSA for predicting hyperperfusion phenomenon (HPP) after carotid artery stenting and angioplasty. Thirty-three consecutive patients with carotid stenosis treated with carotid artery stenting or angioplasty between February 2014 and August 2016 were included. The cerebral circulation time (CCT) was defined as the difference in the relative time to maximum intensity between arterial and venous regions of interest set on the angiograms. HPP was diagnosed straight after the procedure with qualitative 123I-IMP single-photon emission CT (SPECT). Cut-off points for detecting HPP for preprocedural CCT and periprocedural change of CCT were assessed by receiver operating characteristic analysis using 123I-IMP SPECT as reference standard. Differences between patients with and without HPP were analyzed by Student's t test for continuous variables and Fisher`s exact test for categorical variables. A p value of <0.05 was considered statistically significant. Receiver operating characteristic curve analysis of preprocedural CCT and ΔCCT was performed for the prediction of HPP, with 123I-IMP SPECT as standard of reference. They reported that the optimal cut-off points of preprocedural CCT and c...
