Abstract

Directional deep brain stimulation (dDBS) provides multiple programming options. Knowledge of the spatial lead orientation is useful for time-efficient programming. Recent studies demonstrated deviations of up to 90 degrees from the intended orientation angle. We examined the deviation of dDBS-lead orientation for leads from two different manufacturers using intraoperative stereotactic (STX) X-ray images. Intraoperative 2D-X-ray images were acquired after implantation of the first lead (TP1) and the second lead (TP2) enabling the estimation of the spatial position of the first lead at TP1 and TP2 and of changes of the orientation for a defined time period. Two investigators retrospectively estimated the orientation of the directional marker for 64 patients. The mean deviation from intended spatial orientation was 40.8 degrees +/- 46.1 degrees for all examined leads. The spatial orientation of the first lead did not significantly change within a period of approximately 1 h. The degree of deviation did not differ significantly between two lead manufacturers but depended on the lead fixation technique. Our results showed deviations from the intended orientation angle immediately after the insertion of dDBS leads. The initial spatial orientation remained stable for approximately 1 h and was not caused by technical properties of the implanted lead. Hence, it was most probably the result of unintended mechanical torsion during insertion and/or fixation. Because precise determination of the lead orientation is mandatory for target-oriented dDBS programming, the use of additional imaging suitable for precise 3D visualization of lead contacts and/or the positioning marker is recommended.
