Comparison of the clinical effects of embolization and clipping in the treatment of intracranial aneurysms / 中国基层医药

ABSTRACT

Objective To compare the clinical effects of two methods of embolization and clipping in the treatment of intracranial aneurysms .Methods The clinical data of 53 patients with intracranial aneurysms were analyzed retrospectively .According to different treatment methods , the patients were divided into embolization group (26 cases) and clipping group (27 cases).The treatment effect,postoperative complication rate,hospitalization time and cost were compared between the two groups .Results The good rate between the embolization group (84.6％) and clipping group (66.7％) had no statistically significant difference (P>0.05).The incidence rate of postopera-tive complication in the embolization group was lower than that in the clipping group ( 15.4％ vs.44.4％,χ2 =5.307,P<0.05).The hospitalization expense of the clipping group was lower than that of the embolization group [(10.2 ±3.8)ten thousand yuan vs.(16.4 ±4.2)ten thousand yuan,χ2 =6.07,P<0.05].The hospitalization days of the embolization group and clipping group was similar (P>0.05).Conclusion There is no obvious difference in the treatment effect between the endovascular embolization and clipping for intracranial aneurysm ,but the embolization has low incidence of postoperative complication .It is worthy of popularizing in the premise of economic condition .
