Risk of Dependency Following Microsurgical Clipping in Good Grade Patients With Ruptured Anterior Circulation Aneurysms

Microsurgical clipping in forty patients with unruptured anterior cerebral circulation aneurysms: an investigation into cognitive outcome.

OBJECTIVE It is a consensus that most unruptured intracranial aneurysms (UIA) can be treated with acceptably low morbidity. However, some studies recently reported postoperative cognitive impairment, suggesting that it could be attributable to surgical damage. Our goal is to evaluate cognitive function before and after microsurgical clipping in patients with UIA. METHOD A consecutive series o...

Microsurgical clipping or endovascular coiling for ruptured cerebral aneurysms.

See related article, pages ●●●–●●● Early aneurysm repair to prevent recurrent bleeding is central to the management of patients with subarachnoid hemorrhage. Over the past 15 years, endovascular occlusion of cerebral aneurysms has emerged as an alternative to microsurgical clipping, and the relative merits and shortcomings of these 2 approaches have been the subject of considerable discussion i...

Keyhole Approach Combined With External Ventricular Drainage for Ruptured, Poor-Grade, Anterior Circulation Cerebral Aneurysms: Erratum

Keyhole Approach Combined With External Ventricular Drainage for Ruptured, Poor-Grade, Anterior Circulation Cerebral Aneurysms

Poor-grade ruptured anterior circulation cerebral aneurysms are frequently associated with severe vasospasm and high morbidity rates despite recent remarkable advances in endovascular coiling.Here, we explored the feasibility of keyhole approach combined with external ventricular drainage for ruptured, poor-grade, anterior circulation cerebral aneurysms. We retrospectively assessed the records ...
