چکیده

BACKGROUND To report the authors' experience with recurrent aneurysms after primarily completely clipped cerebral aneurysms and discuss mechanisms of recurrence and recommended management. METHODS Data were available for 1016 consecutive patients who underwent clipping of ruptured and unruptured aneurysms in a 15-year period from 1993-2007. RESULTS Nine patients were treated for recurrent aneurysms after successful complete clipping of the initial aneurysms; six patients had initial surgery before 1992, and three patients underwent surgery during the study period. Mean elapsed time between the first clipping and the recurrence of aneurysm was 13.3 years ± 7.8. Repeat craniotomy was performed in seven patients, and six patients underwent reclipping of aneurysms with or without removal of the old clips. One patient was treated by construction of an extracranial-intracranial (EC-IC) bypass plus coating of the aneurysm. Endovascular occlusion of the parent artery was performed in one patient. One patient died without any intervention. Recurrent aneurysms could be classified into three types according to the relationship of the new aneurysm neck to the old clip. CONCLUSIONS The incidence of recurrent aneurysms after complete clipping was approximately 0.02% per year; aneurysms recurred after 13.3 years on average with 25 years the longest duration from initial clipping to recurrence. Classification of recurrent aneurysms into three types might be helpful in selecting appropriate surgical management.

Retreatment of Recurrent Internal Carotid-Posterior Communicating Artery Aneurysm after Coil Embolization

Internal carotid-posterior communicating artery (IC-PC) aneurysms account for more than 20% of all intracranial aneurysms. As a result of the increase in coiling, there has also been an increase in recurrent IC-PC aneurysms after coiling. We present our experience of 10 recurrent IC-PC aneurysms after coiling that were retreated using surgical or endovascular techniques in order to discuss the ...

Late Recurrence of Subarachnoid Hemorrhage Associated with Aneurysmal Regrowth Originating from the Anterior Communicating Artery after Neck Clipping

While complete neck clipping of ruptured cerebral aneurysms prevents rerupture, recurrent subarachnoid hemorrhage (SAH) due to the rupture of an aneurysm at the same sites of the previous aneurysm may occur, even if no residual neck was detected during and after neck clipping. We present the cases of 3 patients with recurrent SAH due to regrowth after neck clipping of aneurysms at the anterior ...

Wrapping of intracranial aneurysms with gauze sponge.

A gauze sponge wrapping method to prevent recurrent subarachnoid hemorrhage (SAH) after incomplete obliteration of intracranial aneurysm or a residual neck after clipping was developed and tested. The authors performed the gauze wrapping for aneurysms with incomplete obliteration by clipping alone, abnormal changes of the parent artery wall which had the possibility of regrowth or rerupture, an...

Combined Endovascular and Microsurgical Management of Complex Cerebral Aneurysms

Cerebral aneurysms are associated with a 50% mortality rate after rupture and patients can suffer significant morbidity during subsequent treatment. Neurosurgical management of both ruptured and unruptured aneurysms has evolved over the years. The historical practice of using microsurgical clipping to treat aneurysms has benefited in the last two decades from tremendous improvement in endovascu...

Long-Term Angiographic Findings in Patients Treated With Microsurgical Clipping of Intracranial Aneurysms

Microsurgical clipping remains a durable treatment for intracranial aneurysms. Despite the low rate of re-treatment, recurrence of subarachnoid hemorrhage is 3% within the first 10 years. This may be caused by rupture of a recurrent or residual aneurysm at the clip site or by rupture of another untreated aneurysm. We investigated the natural history of aneurysms treated with microsurgical clipp...
