Current cervico-cerebral artery dissection (CAD) management lacks controlled studies. Initial treatment involves heparin then warfarin, with surgery rarely indicated. Doppler sonography guides anticoagulation duration, and pseudoaneurysms require no specific treatment.

Area of Science:

  • Vascular Neurology
  • Interventional Neuroradiology
  • Cerebrovascular Diseases

Background:

  • Cervico-cerebral artery dissection (CAD) management lacks evidence-based guidelines.
  • Current empiric treatment involves anticoagulation to prevent embolism.
  • Surgical intervention is generally not recommended for CAD.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To review current management strategies for cervico-cerebral artery dissection.
  • To provide guidance on anticoagulation, surgical intervention, and follow-up.
  • To highlight the role of Doppler sonography in CAD management.

Main Methods:

  • Review of existing literature and clinical practices for cervico-cerebral artery dissection.
  • Analysis of treatment outcomes for anticoagulation and interventional procedures.

  • Evaluation of diagnostic methods, including Doppler sonography.

    • Main Results:

    • Empiric treatment typically involves PTT-guided heparin followed by warfarin.
    • Carotid angioplasty with stenting may be considered for severe hemodynamic impairment.
    • Doppler sonography guides anticoagulation duration until blood flow normalizes or for at least 1 year post-occlusion.

    Conclusions:

    • Anticoagulation is the primary treatment for acute CAD, with duration guided by Doppler sonography.
    • Surgical intervention is reserved for rare cases of severe stenosis; angioplasty/stenting for specific hemodynamic issues.
    • Pseudoaneurysms do not appear to increase embolic risk, and caution is advised for activities with excessive head movements.
