Abstract

To investigate the clinical efficacy of clot aspiration in the treatment of intracerebral hemorrhage (ICH) by reviewing literatures. All studies assigned into two groups of hard or soft tunnel aspiration of clots (HTAC or STAC) on the basis of surgical approaches were obtained by searching four major Chinese medical databases. And the surgical outcomes were descriptively analyzed. A total of 1205 reports (72,855 patients) met the eligibility criteria. The trials (34.0%) with 80% - 89% of clot removal ratio were the most in all HTAC papers and those (37.7%) with 50% - 69% of clot removal ratio were the most in all STAC papers. The mortality and re-bleeding rate in HTAC and STAC group were 14.0% vs 14.5% and 7.2% vs 7.6% respectively (P > 0.05). As compared with the conventional medical group, the mortalities in HTAC and STAC groups were 13.4% vs 36.0% and 14.3% vs 36.1% (P < 0.001) and the re-bleeding rates 9.3% vs 10.6% and 12.2% vs 16.1% (P > 0.05) respectively. As compared with the craniotomy group, the mortalities in HTAC and STAC groups were 14.4% vs 24.1% and 16.7% vs 24.8% (P < 0.01) and the re-bleeding rates 9.1% vs 13.9% (P > 0.05) and 7.1% vs 14.7% (P < 0.01) respectively. Aspiration of clots can effectively remove hem...Continue Reading

Blood Clotting Disorders

Thrombophilia includes conditions with increased tendency for excessive blood clotting. Blood clotting occurs when the body has insufficient amounts of specialized proteins that make blood clot and stop bleeding. Here is the latest research on blood clotting disorders.
