The Effects of MAP and EtCO2 on Venous Sinus Pressures

Prospective Measurement of Blood Pressure and End Tidal Carbon Dioxide Content Effects on Venous Sinus Caliber and Pressures in Patients With Idiopathic Intracranial Hypertension Undergoing Stenting

The purpose of this study is to further elaborate the role of both arterial blood pressure and end-tidal carbon dioxide concentration on measured venous pressures.

Study Overview

Detailed Description

To prospectively evaluate the effect of changes in end-tidal carbon dioxide and arterial blood pressure on venous sinus pressure measurements in patients undergoing venous sinus stenting under general anesthesia. Venous sinus pressure measurements will increase with increases in both arterial blood pressure and end-tidal carbon dioxide concentrations.

Arms and Interventions

Participant Group / Arm
Intervention / Treatment
Active Comparator: Group A

Adult patients determined to be candidates for venous sinus stenting.

End tidal CO and Mean Arterial Pressure will be adjusted to the following parameters during the intervention:

For Group A: Initial Recording: Mean Arterial Pressure 60-80 mmHg, End tidal CO2 38-40 mmHg, Subsequent Recording: Mean Arterial Pressure 100-80 mmHg, End tidal CO2 38-40 mmHg.

Venous sinus stenting is performed under general anesthesia. Patients are loaded with aspirin and clopidogrel before the procedure. After induction, the right femoral vein is accessed and an 8 F sheath is placed. Intravenous heparin is administered. A 0.070-0.088 guide catheter is navigated into the ipsilateral jugular vein near the jugular bulb. Pre-stenting manometry is performed in every patient. To do so, a Renegade Hi-Flo microcatheter is navigated into the superior sagittal sinus and then used to measure ipsilateral venous pressures across the site of outflow obstruction (this will be the time point where the study intervention will be performed).
End-tidal carbon dioxide concentrations will be adjusted to fall in the End-tidal carbon dioxide concentrations will be adjusted to fall in the 38-40 mmHg range
Mean arterial pressure will be adjusted to fall in the 100-110 mmHg range
Active Comparator: Group B

Adult patients determined to be candidates for venous sinus stenting.
