Comparison of the use of microsurgical clipping and embolization with Guglielmi detachable coils for the management of acutely ruptured intracranial aneurysm / 中华显微外科杂志

ABSTRACT

Objective To Compare the use of guglielmi detachable coils(GDCs)versus microsurgical clipping for the management of acutely ruptured intracra nial aneurysm. Methods A clinical study included 82 patients with acute (90%. The technique related morbidity rate was 14.2%. In microsurgical group, 92.5% of aneurysms were completely clipped. The technique related morbidity rate was 10%. 2 cases was died. Significantly better total occlusion/embolization results were achieved in microsurgical clipping( n =40) than in GDCs ( n =35)( P 0.05). Six months follow up demonstrates that good prognosis was 95% in both groups. Conclusion In the management of acutely ruptured intracranial aneurysm, both microsurgical clipping and endovascular treatment is effective methods.
