Abstract

Background

B-type natriuretic peptide (BNP) levels increase with an increase in intracranial pressure. A decrease in BNP levels has been found to be associated with patient positive prognosis. Brain-derived neurotrophic factor (BDNF) levels decrease in patients with acute stroke.

Aims

To compare the BNP and BDNF values in serum before and after elective endovascular cerebral aneurysm treatment (ECAT).

Methods

A total of 50 patients who underwent elective ECAT were included in the study. Exclusion criteria were determined to be history of heart failure or heart attack (n = 8), renal failure (n = 5), subarachnoid hemorrhage (n = 4), or previous aneurysm clip procedure (n = 3). Intravenous blood samples were obtained from 30 patients who underwent elective ECAT before and after treatment. After centrifugation, the BNP and BDNF values in serum were obtained with the ELISA method and compared.

Results

This study included 19 female and 11 male patients, aged between 24 and 75 years. The average age of the patients was 51.27 ± 13.31 years. The median BDNF values did not change significantly after ECAT (before the endovascular procedure: 3.1 ± 1.3 pg/dl; after the endovascular procedure: 2.8 ± 0.9 pg/dl, p = 0.16). Median BNP levels decreased significantly after ECAT (before the endovascular procedure: 617.50 ± 483.11 pg/ml; after the endovascular procedure: 395.00 ± 352.15 pg/ml, p < 0.001).

Conclusions

After elective endovascular cerebral aneurysm treatment, the BNP values in serum decreased significantly, and the BDNF values in serum did not change significantly.

Keynote webinar | Spotlight on medication adherence

Live: Thursday 27th June 2024, 18:00-19:30 (CEST)

WHO estimates that half of all patients worldwide are non-adherent to their prescribed medication. The consequences of poor adherence can be catastrophic, on both the individual and population level.

Join our expert panel to discover why you need to understand the drivers of non-adherence in your patients, and how you can optimize medication adherence in your clinics to drastically improve patient outcomes.
