INVEST-REGISTRY: Minimally Invasive Endoscopic Surgical Treatment With Apollo/Artemis in Patients With Brain Hemorrhage
Study Phase: N/A
Recruitment Status: Recruiting
Start Date: October 01, 2016
End Date: January 01, 2019
Inclusion Criteria:
- Patient age 022 years or older
- Supratentorial brain hemorrhage, which may be:
1. Intracerebral (ICH)
2. Primarily Intracerebral (ICH) with a component of intraventricular hemorrhage (IVH)
3. Primarily intraventricular hemorrhage (IVH) with a component of ICH
4. Intraventricular hemorrhage (IVH)
- Patient does not qualify for the concurrent INVEST Feasibility study
Exclusion Criteria:
- Imaging
- Expanding hemorrhage on stability CT/MR scan
- "Spot sign" identified on CTA (May perform a second CTA at 12 hours to demonstrate resolution)
- Hemorrhagic lesion such as a vascular malformation (cavernous malformation, AVM etc), aneurysm, neoplasm
- Hemorrhagic conversion of an underlying ischemic stroke
- Infratentorial hemorrhage
- Midbrain extension/involvement
- Coagulation Issues
- Absolute and imminent (within 7 days of treatment) requirement for long-term, full-dose, anti-coagulation (e.g., Mechanical valve replacement (bio-prostatic valve is permitted), high risk atrial fibrillation)
- Known hereditary or acquired hemorrhagic diathesis, coagulation factor deficiency
- Uncorrected platelet count < 100 x 103 cells/mm3 or known platelet dysfunction
- INR > 1.45, elevated prothrombin time or activated partial thromboplastin time (aPTT), which cannot be corrected or otherwise accounted for (i.e., lupus anti-coagulant)
- Patient Factors
- High risk condition for ischemic stroke (high risk Afib (e.g., mitral stenosis with Afib), symptomatic carotid stenosis)
- Requirement for emergent surgical decompression or uncontrolled ICP after EVD
- Unable to obtain consent from patient or appropriate surrogate (for patients without competence)
- Pregnancy, breast-feeding, or positive pregnancy test [either serum or urine] (Woman of child-bearing potential must have a negative pregnancy test prior to the study procedure.)
- Evidence of active infection [indicated by fever (at or over 100.7 °F) and/or open draining wound] at the time of randomization
- Any comorbid disease or condition expected to compromise survival or ability to complete follow-up assessments through 180 days.
- Based on investigator's judgment, patient does not have the necessary mental capacity to participate or is unwilling or unable to comply with protocol follow up appointment schedule.
- Active drug or alcohol use or dependence that, in the opinion of the site investigator would interfere with adherence to study requirements.
- Currently participating in another interventional (drug, device, etc) research project.
