Abstract

ObjectiveIntracranial aneurysm (IA) coiling remains the most commonly used endovascular approach for ruptured and unruptured IA, and recanalization is a common drawback that impairs treatment success. Angiographic occlusion and aneurysm healing are not synonymous, and histological evaluation of embolized aneurysms remains a challenge. We propose here an experimental study of coil embolization in animal models by multiphoton microscopy (MPM) in comparison with conventional histological staining. The purpose of his work is to analyze coil healing process using histological sections of aneurysms.MethodsBased on a rabbit elastase model, 27 aneurysms were fixed, embedded in resin, and cut in thin histological sections 1 month after coils implantation and after angiographic control. Hematoxylin and eosin (H&S) staining were realized. Non-stained adjacent slices were imaged for multiphoton excited autofluorescence (AF) and second-harmonic generation (SHG) to construct three-dimensional (3D) projections of sequentially and axially acquired images.ResultsThe contrast provided by the combination of these two imaging modalities can be used to distinguish five levels of aneurysm healing, based on a combination of thrombus evolution and increased extracellular matrix (ECM) deposit.ConclusionRDPC:\Users\SHAHUL\RDP6|We have established a novel histological scale from a rabbit elastase aneurysm model after coiling with a classification of five different stages thanks to nonlinear microscopy. This classification is an actualized tool in order to obtain a more precise evaluation of occlusion device efficacy in the scope of new innovative microscopy for research.
