2 Minimally Invasive Intracerebral Hemorrhage Removal

Stereotactic Evacuation withThrombolysis
The rst major trial to evaluate the effect of stereotactic hema­toma aspiration in conjunction with direct thrombolysis was the SICHPA trial (Stereotactic Treatment of Intracerebral Hematoma by Means of a Plasminogen Activator) in 2003 [10]. This trial compared stereotactic hematoma evacuation with urokinase to the best medical management. A catheter was inserted stereotacti­cally and serially infused with urokinase to drain the hematoma over 48hours. Seventy-one patients were randomly assigned to the surgical or nonsurgical groups. While there was no signicant difference in mortality between the surgical and nonsurgical groups (56% vs 59%, respectively), there was a signicant decrease in hematoma volume in the surgical arm over 7 days [10].
In the MISTIE trials (Minimally Invasive Surgery with Thrombolysis in Intracerebral hemorrhage Evacuation), surgical stereotactic hematoma evacuation with recombinant tissue plas­minogen activator (rtPA) was compared to medical management. For their surgical technique, a sheath was stereotactically passed through a burr hole into the middle of the hematoma, and manual aspiration is performed. A catheter is then left behind in place of the sheath. The drainage catheter remains and periodic injection of alteplase is performed. Clot burden is assessed with daily CT scans, and injections continue until up to nine injections have been performed or the ICH volume is less than 15cm3 [1, 11].
MISTIE-I (2008) provided hope for MIS treatment, as there was a signicant increase in clot resolution compared to medical management, although it was only a phase 1 trial [11]. MISTIE-II (2016) was a multicenter phase II randomized trial comparing ste­reotactic aspiration with thrombolysis to conservative medical management in 96 patients and primarily focused on safety out­comes. There was no signicant difference in the primary out­comes of 30-day mortality, periprocedural mortality, symptomatic bleeding, and infection leading them to conclude that MIS with alteplase was a safe technique [11].

MISTIE-III (2019) was a multicenter, blinded endpoint ran­domized controlled trial conducted in 506 patients. This efcacy study showed a decrease in length of hospital stay and mortality after 1year compared to medical management with no signicant difference in mRS at 1 year. However, for those patients who achieved a reduction in hematoma volume less than 15mL, there was a signicant improvement in mRS at 1year [12]. Other trials of stereotactic aspiration with thrombolysis rarely demonstrated any positive effects; this in tandem with the exploratory nature of the MISTIE trials suggests a continued need to evaluate other sur­gical modalities [1].

Endoport-Mediated Evacuation

For this technique, a small craniotomy and dural opening is per­formed. An endoport along with its obturator is inserted into the hematoma. The obturator is removed, and hematoma evacuation is then performed with a microsurgical approach or with a hand­piece allowing for suction, irrigation, and coagulation of vessels for hemostasis. The endoport is removed at the conclusion of the case [1]. Many different clinical studies have been conducted to evaluate an endoport-mediated system for ICH evacuation with the potential benets including less tissue damage, better access and visualization for deep ICH, and potentially faster evacuation times.
The Early Minimally-Invasive Removal of ICH (ENRICH) trial is a recently resulted trial evaluating endoport-mediated hematoma evacuation using the BrainPath and Myriad devices. Prior to ENRICH, there have been small retrospective studies of endoport-mediated evacuation, although the results of those stud­ies are inconclusive given that they either did not compare their experimental group to a control, had relatively small series of patients [13–15], or demonstrated poor functional outcomes [16]. They did, however, demonstrate potential positive outcomes in terms of the reduction of hematoma volume using an endoport­mediated evacuation system [13–15].The ENRICH trial published results with Bayesian analysis showing a posterior probability of

superiority of surgery over medical management of 0.981. This was based off of a utility-weighted modied Rankin scale (uw­mRS) of 0.458 for the surgery group and 0.374 for the control group. While ICH in the general population is predominantly located within the basal ganglia, the trial ratio was roughly 70/30 lobar to basal ganglia because of an adaptive trial design. Anterior basal ganglia hemorrhages were dropped from enrollment when an interim analysis showed that the trial was unlikely to prove an effect with hemorrhages of that location. Therefore, the positivity of the trail overall was carried by the lobar hemorrhages. Never­theless, ENRICH represents the rst large, randomized controlled trial showing positive results for surgical intervention in ICH [17].

Endoscope-Assisted Evacuation

In this technique, an endoscope is combined with an aspiration cannula through an access sheath to remove the ICH via a small craniectomy. The endoscope provides visualization, while the cannula allows for aspiration and irrigation of the hematoma. This technique also allows for the coagulation of vessels for hemosta­sis. A drainage catheter can be left in the cavity as needed [1].
Auer et al. conducted a randomized controlled study in 100 patients with spontaneous supratentorial ICH and compared endoscopic hematoma evacuation with medical management. Patients in the surgical arm demonstrated signicantly lower mor­tality rates at 6months (30% vs 70%) and signicant neurological functional improvement; however, it should be noted that the sur­gical outcome of those patients suffering a thalamic ICH was no different from those managed conservatively [18]. Other retro­spective endoscopic studies generally demonstrated some benet to this technique over medical management (e.g., lower rebleed­ing rate, decreased mortality, lower mRS score, improved func­tional outcomes, and/or greater evacuation percentages) [18–23]. In addition, two recent meta-analyses of this technique have been conducted which also demonstrate benet [24, 25].

The Intraoperative Stereotactic Computed Tomography­Guided Endoscopic Surgery (ICES) for Brain Hemorrhage was a multicenter, randomized controlled trial which compared endo­scopic hematoma evacuation to medical management. In this trial, 20 enrolled subjects were randomized into a surgical (n=14) and control (n=6) group. In addition, 36 subjects from the medical arm of the MISTIE trials were prospectively added to the control group for analysis. Their data suggests that endoscopic hematoma evacuation may improve functional outcomes, as the percentage of subjects with a mRS<4 at 1year was 42.9% and 23.7% for the surgical and control groups, respectively. However, with a high p-value (p= 0.19), these results are inconclusive. A large-scale clinical trial will need to be conducted to demonstrate true ef­cacy of endoscopic hematoma evacuation, as many of the afore­mentioned studies were conducted retrospectively or have small sample sizes.

Adjunctive Aspiration Devices

An adjunctive aspiration device functions similarly to an endoscope- assisted technique but with enhanced control over aspiration strength, potentially decreasing inadvertent damage to the adjacent normal brain parenchyma while enabling more thor­ough clot removal [1, 26]. These systems use an endoscope work­ing channel for irrigation and another channel for a tool that combines aspiration and agitation of the clot. The Apollo system (Penumbra Inc., Alameda, California) is a low-prole system that consists of an aspiration wand which vibrates and softens the clot preventing the cannula from obstructing. The Artemis system (Penumbra Inc., Alameda, California) is the second-generation system.The set up for such a procedure requires neuronavigation, the endoscope and monitor, basic surgical instruments and the Artemis device with suction. Imaging is usually performed to check hematoma evacuation prior to closure, which generally requires angio equipment, a portable CT scanner or a burr hole

An example of the endoscope view during hema­toma evacuation is shown in Fig.2.3.
The Stereotactic ICH Underwater Blood Aspiration (SCUBA) method, using the Apollo system, was described by Kellner etal. The SCUBA technique occurs in two stages. In the rst stage, the endoscope and adjunctive aspiration device are inserted, and high-power suction is applied at the depth of the hematoma. The endoscope and adjunctive aspiration device are then pulled back until it is at the proximal end of the hematoma. The suction is then decreased, and the irrigation is increased in order to expand the

cavity allowing for direct visualization and exploration of the cav­ity to allow for further clot evacuation as well as hemostasis. This second phase also helps to reduce trauma to cavity walls. The endoscope is then removed [1, 27].

In general, keeping the aspiration device advanced a clear distance out through the endoscope will help to keep the lens of the endoscope clean and maintain visualization. The authors also nd that the 30 degree scope is not only manageable but may be easier in this regard.
Spiotta etal. reported on a multicenter initial experience utiliz­ing the Apollo system in 29 patients demonstrating a signicant reduction in hematoma size postoperatively [28]. Goyal et al. reported a case-control study of 19 patients who underwent MIS using the Apollo system of basal ganglia ICH.This interventional cohort was then matched to 54 conservatively managed patients. This series demonstrated a signicantly lower in-hospital mortal­ity in the MIS group (28% vs 56%) [29].Figures 2.4a, b showpre-

The ongoing trials for adjunctive aspiration devices are the Minimally Invasive Endoscopic Surgery with Apollo in Patients with Brain Hemorrhage (INVEST) study which is based in the USA and the Dutch Intracerebral Hemorrhage Surgery Trial (DIST) based in the Netherlands. The results of these studies are not yet available.The Artemis in the Removal of Intracerebral Hemorrhage (MIND) study stopped enrollment early after the ENRICH trial results were released. This was done after enrollment of 236 patients, with interim analysis prespecied at an N of 200. The primary endpoint of the trial was mRS at 180 days and in this measure, the trial showed no difference between

medical management and minimally invasive surgery (MIS) evac­uation (OR 1.03; 96% CI, 0.62 to 1.72, P=0.452). However, the trial did show reduced perihematomal edema and reduced ventila­tor dependence at 30 days as well as reduced serious adverse events with MIS evacuation of ICH.It should be noted that MIND patients were split roughly 70/30 with most patients having basal ganglia hemorrhages, which is more reective of the general pop­ulation and is the inverse of the patients enrolled in ENRICH.At the time of this writing, the full results of the MIND trial are not yet published.

Surgiscope

The Aurora Surgiscope System is a relatively newer instrument. It is a single-use endoscope approved by the FDA in January of
2019. There are no published reports of techniques using this sys­tem yet. The Minimally Invasive Intracerebral Hemorrhage Evacuation (MIRROR) and Ultra-Early, Minimally Invasive Intracerebral Hemorrhage Evacuation Versus Standard Treatment (EVACUATE) trials have recently begun enrolling patients and should provide a better understanding around the efcacy of this technique [1].

Other Techniques

Other techniques to improve hematoma evacuation, such as trans­catheter sonothrombolysis, have been reported but are not com­mon in clinical practice [30].
Operative Setting andIntraoperative Imaging
As the eld of neurointervention continues to expand, advance­ments in cone beam CT (CBCT) imaging have allowed for the evacuation of ICH in a minimally invasive manner with the assis­tance of real-time image guidance, thereby increasing the extent

of the initial clot removal [26]. Many institutions utilizing adjunc­tive aspiration devices use them in hybrid or intraoperative angi­ography suites where CBCT allows for immediate feedback on the extent of hematoma evacuation.
Both the operating room and the angiography suite can be used as the setting for MIS ICH evacuation. Each has its own positive and negative considerations, but the key secondary decision is which type of imaging will be used to assess the clot evacuation mid-procedure. Given the subgroup analysis of MISTIE III show­ing that residual hematoma volume <15 cc may be associated with improved mRS at 1year, it seems imperative that the clot evacuation be assessed mid-procedure, so that continued efforts can be made until that goal is reached. This is most commonly done in the angiography suite with CBCT but can also be done with a burr hole ultrasound (US) probe. In the operating room, the US probe is clearly still an option, but CT is only feasible if the institution possesses a portable CT technology, or the room is a hybrid suite.

Conclusions

MIS techniques offer several promising options for treating spon­taneous intracerebral hemorrhage, although there is not yet a clin­ical study that suggests a denitive surgical advantage or an optimal surgical technique for treating this disease. There are, however, several ongoing clinical trials that are researching differ­ent MIS-ICH evacuation techniques that should help provide clar­ity around the efcacy of certain techniques and hopefully patient selection.
