ABSTRACT
BACKGROUND:
Both microsurgical and endovascular techniques continued to be treatment options for basilar apex aneurysms (BAA). We conducted a systematic review to compare both treatment options in terms of both clinical and radiological outcomes.METHODS:
The PRISMA method was used to identify related articles. Data collected from each article and the two treatment approaches were compared in terms of favorable clinical outcome and complete/near complete occlusion rate. Subgroup analysis was done based on the size and the rupture status of BAA.RESULTS:
Fifty-nine (59) and 32 articles reported a measurable clinical and radiological outcome respectively. The weighted average favorable clinical outcome was significantly higher in the endovascular group (86.4% vs 79.6%, P<0.0001), while the weighted average complete/near complete occlusion rate was significantly higher in the surgical group (92.6% vs 83.8%, P<0.0001). In the subgroup analysis, the favorable clinical outcome remained significantly higher in the endovascular group for the ruptured, unruptured and giant/large BAA (P<0.001), but not in the small BAA subgroup (P=0.26). The occlusion rate remained significantly higher in the surgical group for all subgroups (P<0.001).CONCLUSION:
Treatment of BAA remains in a trade-off between favorable clinical outcome and complete or near-complete occlusion depending on the treatment modality selected. Careful selection of cases and judicial discussion between open surgical and endovascular team is warranted for treatment optimization.Palabras clave
