About this study

Official title: Effect of Brachial Plexus Block on Outcomes of Upper Extremity Arteries After Intracranial Aneurysm Interventional Surgery Via Transradial Access: A Randomized Clinical Trial

The aim of this study was toinvestigate the effect of BPB on outcome of upper extremity arteries in patients undergoing interventional embolization of intracranial aneurysms via TRA. A multicenter prospective clinical trial was designed. The study subjects were patients undergoing cerebral aneurysm embolization with TRA. BPB was given in the BPB group patients and no BPB in the control group.The incidence of radial artery spasm (RAS) diagnosed by intraoperative angiography and the occurrence of the unfavorable RA for repeated trans-radial interventions (TRI) diagnosed by vascular ultrasound 1 month after surgery, perioperative changes of blood flow parameters in upper limb vessels,postoperative inflammatory factors and complications were observed in the two groups.

The aim of this study was to investigate the effect of BPB on outcome of upper extremity arteries in patients undergoing interventional embolization of intracranial aneurysms via TRA. A multicenter prospective clinical trial was designed, and the study subjects were patients undergoing cerebral aneurysm embolization with TRA. Participants were randomly assigned to receive Ultrasound-guided BPB with 0.15% ropivacaine 20ml (BPB group) or normal saline 20ml (Control group) in 1:1ratio.The primary outcomes measured were the incidence of RAS diagnosed by intraoperative angiography and the occurrence of the unfavorable RA for repeated trans-radial interventions (TRI) diagnosed by vascular ultrasound 1 month after surgery.Secondary outcomes included the severity of RAS, Components of unfavorable RA for repeated TRI, intraoperative nitroglycerin use, Intraoperative hypotension, surgeon satisfaction scores.

  • RopivacaineDrug

    Also called brachial plexus block

    According to the results of the preliminary experiment, the BPB group was given ultrasound-guided BPB with 0.15% ropivacaine 20ml.The ropivacaine concentration was the 90% minimum effective concentration(MEC90) for preventing vasospasm during operation.

What is being measured

The primary outcome is the main question the study is designed to answer.

  1. Assess the RAS by angiography at the begining of the operation

    The RAS was assessed through radial artery angiography following the insertion of the arterial catheter.

    Measured: During the operation

  2. Evaluate the degree of RAS by angiography at the end of the operation

    The severity of RAS was classified as severe, moderate, or mild based on the degree of stenosis observed on radial arteriography: greater than 75%, 25-75%, and less than 25% of the vessel diameter, respectively. In addition, if the combined spasm length exceeded 2cm, the severity increased by 1 grade.

    Measured: During the operation

Secondary outcomes (22)
  1. Assess unfavorable RA for repeated trans-radial interventions (TRI) at 1 month after surgery by ultrasonography.

    The the radial artery was evaluated at 1 month after surgery using ultrasonography by an anesthesiologist who was blinded to the group assignments.The radial artery was considered unfavorable for repeated-TRI if it exhibited any of the following criteria: total occlusion, intima-media thickness (IMT) ≥0.5 mm and diameter <1.5mm, moderate and diffuse stenosis (> 10 mm in length), or severe focal or diffuse stenosis (regardless of length).

    Measured: Month 1 after surgery
