BACKGROUND: Carotid blowout syndrome (CBS) frequently occurs at the distal internal carotid artery (distal-ICA) in patients with nasopharyngeal carcinoma (NPC), and remedial treatments run a high risk for neurologic complications. A case-control study was conducted to evaluate the safety and efficacy of protective stent insertion at the distal-ICA to prevent CBS in NPC patients, with a comparison to endovascular coil occlusion.
METHODS: A total of 28 consecutive NPC patients at high risk of CBS from June 2019 to December 2021 in Shanghai Sixth People's Hospital (a tertiary institution) were retrospectively included and divided into a stent protection group and occlusion group. Technique feasibility, treatment outcomes and neurological deficiency were compared between the two groups by two-sample test. Kaplan-Meier analysis compared patients' survival rates at mid-term follow-up.
RESULTS: Stent insertion was performed in 15 patients and ICA occlusion in 13 patients. The technical success rate was 100% in both groups. Procedure-related ischemic stroke was identified in 2 patients (15.4%) in the occlusion group, compared with none in the stent protection group. Bleeding was encountered in one patient in the stent protection group and one patient in the occlusion group, each. During a median follow-up of 10.5 (range, 2-31) months, 3 patients (20%) showed asymptomatic in-stent occlusion in the stent protection group. Notably, the median survival time was significantly longer in the stent protection group than in the occlusion group (23.3 vs. 15.8 months, P=0.04).
CONCLUSIONS: Protective stenting the distal-ICA was similarly effective in preventing CBS in NPC patients but was safer than endovascular occlusion of ICA.
