Abstract
ABSTRACTBACKGROUND AND PURPOSEThe purpose of this study was to compare clinical outcomes and treatment‐related complications between coiling and clipping for ruptured distal anterior cerebral artery (DACA) aneurysms.METHODSEighty‐four consecutive patients (M:F = 36:48; mean 53.8 years) with ruptured DACA aneurysms were treated by either clipping (n = 46, 54.8%) or coiling (n = 38, 45.2%). The clinical outcomes and procedure‐related complications were evaluated and compared between the two groups.RESULTSProcedure‐related complications tend to occur more frequently in the clipping (n = 6, 13.0%) than coiling group (n = 1, 2.6%) (P = .121). At discharge, 51 patients (60.7%) had favorable outcomes (Glasgow outcome scale [GOS], 4 or 5). There was no significant difference between the two groups in favorable outcome (63.2% vs. 58.7%; P = .677). Hunt and Hess (HH) grade (P < .001; 95% CI, 3.354‐29.609) and treatment modality (P = .044; 95% CI, 1.039‐16.325) were independent risk factors for poor outcome (GOS, 1‐3).CONCLUSIONSCoiling was more favorable to clipping in clinical outcomes and incidence of treatment‐related complications for ruptured DACA aneurysms.
