Ruptured Cerebral Aneurysms: An Update

A Cerebral aneurysm is an abnormal bulging outward of one of cerebral arteries and is common lesion in the adult population. Cerebral aneurysm occurs in 1~5% of people which translates to 10 million to 12 million persons in the United States [1, 2]Approximately 0.2 to 3 percent of people with an aneurysm suffer from rupture per year. Ruptured aneurysm is the leading cause of subarachnoid hemorr...

Simultaneous Endovascular Treatment of Ruptured Cerebral Aneurysms and Vasospasm

OBJECTIVE The management of patients with ruptured cerebral aneurysms and severe vasospasm is subject to considerable controversy. We intended to describe herein an endovascular technique for the simultaneous treatment of aneurysms and vasospasm. MATERIALS AND METHODS A series of 11 patients undergoing simultaneous endovascular treatment of ruptured aneurysms and vasospasm were reviewed. Afte...

Endovascular treatment of ruptured posterior circulation cerebral aneurysms. Clinical and angiographic outcomes.

BACKGROUND AND PURPOSE We sought to describe the clinical outcome and angiographic results obtained in the endovascular therapy of ruptured posterior circulation cerebral aneurysms using Guglielmi detachable coils (GDC) over a 7-year period. METHODS A retrospective analysis was performed of 112 patients evaluated at the University of California at San Francisco Medical Center between June 199...

Angiographic and Clinical Result of Endovascular Treatment in Paraclinoid Aneurysms

PURPOSE The purpose of this study was to analyze the results of an immediate and mid-term angiographic and clinical follow-up of endovascular treatment for paraclinoid aneurysms. MATERIALS AND METHODS From January 2002 to December 2012, a total of 113 consecutive patients (mean age: 56.2 years) with 116 paraclinoid saccular aneurysms (ruptured or unruptured) were treated with endovascular coi...
