Conditions

Intracerebral Hemorrhage

Brief summary

To determine if minimally invasive soft channel brain hemorrhage evacuation (scMIS), compared with any other neurosurgical technique that includes open craniotomy, small skull window microsurgery , and endoscopic surgery, is at least as effective ('not inferior') on poor clinical outcome of death or major disability (mRS scores 4-6) at 6 months in basal ganglia intracerebral hemorrhage (ICH) of 30 \< volume ≤ 100 ml.

Interventions

OTHEROther neurosurgical techniques

Those include open craniotomy, small skull window microsurgery, and endoscopic surgery. The attending clinician is required to consider which type of craniotomy or other procedure according to the expertise and availability at the hospital.

PROCEDUREMinimally Invasive Soft Channel Brain Haemorrhage Evacuation

This technique is based on the study of hematoma anatomy, cerebral vascular anatomy, and neural fiber structure anatomy in basal ganglia hemorrhage to determine the optimal surgical (catheter insertion) path. By applying stereogeometric principles, it allows for simple yet precise localization. Through surgical steps including puncture, aspiration, liquefaction (intermittent infusion of urokinase or alteplase), and external drainage, the hematoma can be completely removed in stages over a short period. This ensures that hematoma clearance and decompression of the brain occur simultaneously, achieving a minimally invasive intracerebral hemorrhage evacuation technique with a gradual reduction in intracranial pressure.

Inclusion criteria

* Inclusion Criteria: 1. Adults (18 - 80 years) ; 2. The clinical diagnosis is acute intracerebral hemorrhage, confirmed by imaging; 3. Onset within 48 hours, and surgery can be initiated within 48 hours; 4. Basal ganglia hemorrhage, with a bleeding volume of 30 \< volume ≤ 100 ml; 5. Reduced level of consciousness (GCS 4-14); 6. Pre-stroke mRS score≤1 points; 7. Systolic blood pressure \<140 mmHg before randomisation; 8. Availability of being able to receive either scMIS or other neurosurgical technique; 9. Informed consent obtain accordingly to local regulations. *

Exclusion criteria

1. Definite evidence the ICH is secondary to a structural abnormality in the brain (eg arteriovenous malformation, intracranial aneurysm, tumour, trauma, cerebral venous thrombosis) or previous thrombolysis or neurointerventional surgery. 2. A high likelihood that the patient will not adhere to the study treatment and follow-up regimen. 3. Platelet count \< 100,000, INR \> 1.4.

Design outcomes

Primary

MeasureTime frameDescription
The primary outcome is death or major disability (mRS scores 0-3) at 6 months.6 months after randomizationOrdinal analysis of modified Rankin Scale \[mRS\] score: 0 =No symptoms at all.1 =No significant disability despite symptoms, able to carry out all usual duties and activities.2 =Slight disability, unable to carry out all previous activities but able to look after own affairs without assistance.3 =Moderate disability requiring some help, but able to walk without Assistance. 4 =Moderate severe disability, unable to walk without assistance and unable to attend to own bodily needs without assistance.5 =Severe disability, bedridden incontinent, and requiring constant nursing care and attention.6 =Dead.

The following at 6-months: ordinal analysis of modified Rankin Scale [mRS] scores 0-66-months after randomizationModified Rankin Scale \[mRS\] score at 6 months analysed as an ordinal outcome (categories 0 to 6).
The following at 6-months: AMC Linear Disability Score(ALDs)6-months after randomizationThe AMC (Academic Medical Center) Linear Disability Score (ALDs) is a calibrated generic item bank designed to measure physical disability levels in patients. The ALDs is a sensitive and generic scale that encompasses a broader range of activities compared to the Rankin assessment. The key distinction between the ALDs and the Rankin assessment is that the ALDs provides a linear disability score based on patient-reported outcomes, while the Rankin score is an ordinal assessment determined by a rater.
The following at 6-months: EuroQoL Group 5-Dimension self-report questionnaire (EQ-5D)6-months after randomizationAn EQ-5D score, also referred to as an EQ-5D value index or utility, quantifies a person's health status on a scale from 1 (full health) to 0 (equivalent to being dead). Negative values may be assigned to health states considered worse than death.The score is calculated using a formula that applies specific weights to each level in the various dimensions of the EQ-5D, with these weights derived from a value set that includes index values for all possible EQ-5D states.
