About this trial

This is an interventional treatment trial for Ischemic Attack

Eligibility Criteria

16 Years - undefined (Child, Adult, Older Adult)All SexesDoes not accept healthy volunteers

Inclusion Criteria:

  • Age ≥16 years
  • Acute neurological presentation with recurrent transient ischemic attacks (TIA) or cerebral infarction within 30 days of symptom onset
  • Angiographic findings compatible with the diagnostic criteria for MMD or MMS (unilateral findings, bilateral distal internal carotid artery involvement without Moyamoya vessels, or presence of other causative factors)
  • Significant decrease in basal perfusion and reservoir capacity on brain perfusion CT or Brain single photon emission computed tomography with acetazolamide (Diamox®) challenge (D-SPECT)

Exclusion Criteria:

  • Definite presence of transdural collateral flow on cerebral angiography.
  • Sufficient perfusion status via Willisian, leptomeningeal, or other collateral systems, as evaluated by multimodal imaging methods.
  • > 30 days after symptom onset

Sites / Locations

5. Study Description

Brief Summary
In this study, the investigators aim to evaluate the indirect revascularization outcomes of a new combination therapy of multiple burrhole procedure with promotion of arteriogenesis by intravenous (IV) erythropoietin (EPO) pretreatment on Moyamoya patients with acute neurological presentation, and outline the clinical and vascular factors associated with revascularization through the burrholes.
Detailed Description
This is a investigator led, single-center, single arm, interventional trial in prospective Moyamoya disease (MMD) and Moyamoya syndrome (MMS) registry. MMD or MMS patients with acute neurological presentation such as ischemic stroke or transient ischemic attack are eligible. After inclusion, initial evaluation including transfemoral angiography is performed. A 3 day pre-procedure IV erythropoietin (120000 international units[IU] #3) is given for promotion of arteriogenesis, than multiple burrhole procedure is performed. Arteriogenesis is evaluated by 6 month transfemoral angiography.

Arm Type
Experimental
Arm Description
pretreatment with IV erythropoietin for 3 days, 120000IU#3 then multiple burrhole procedure on the hemisphere effected is performed
Intervention Type
Drug
Intervention Name(s)
erythropoietin
Other Intervention Name(s)
multiple burrhole procedure
Intervention Description
Epokine®, CJ healthcare, South Korea is used preprocedurally to promote revascularization. Total 120,000 units of EPO is injected for three consecutive days, 40,000 units mixed in IV saline 100 ml over 1 hour. The multiple burrhole procedure is performed in area of hemodynamic insufficiency by D-SPECT. It is performed under local anesthesia.
Primary Outcome Measure Information:
Title
Functional status of the participants after 6 months of procedure assessed by modified Rankin Scale.
Description
The functional status of participants will be assessed based on modified Rankin Scale for evaluation of feasibility of procedure.
Time Frame
6 month post-procedure
Title
transdural arteriogenesis
Description
the extent of collateral flow that has developed from external carotid artery to internal carotid artery through the burrholes
Time Frame
6 month post-procedural cerebral angiography
Secondary Outcome Measure Information:
Title
Number of participants with treatment-related adverse events as assessed by CTCAE v4.0
Description
periprocedural and post-procedural complications
Time Frame
Any complications occuring within <14 days of burrhole procedure + erythropoietin is classified as periprocedural complications. Any complications occuring or detected after 14 days of procedure up to 6 months will be classified as post-procedural.
