Endovascular treatment of ruptured lobulated anterior communicating artery aneurysms: A retrospective case series study of 24 patients / 国际脑血管病杂志

ABSTRACT

Objective:To investigate the efficacy and safety of endovascular treatment for ruptured lobulated anterior communicating artery aneurysm (ACoAA).Methods:Patients with ruptured lobulated ACoAA received endovascular treatment in Sanming First Hospital Affiliated to Fujian Medical University from June 2020 to June 2022 were retrospectively included. Their demographic, clinical and imaging characteristics, endovascular treatment methods and follow-up results were collected.Results:A total of 24 patients with ruptured lobulated ACoAA were included, including 9 males (37.5%) and 15 females (62.5%). Their age was 56.2±8.9 years old (range 39-74). The time from rupture to endovascular treatment was 10.9±12.5 h. The maximum diameter of the aneurysms was 5.1±1.0 mm and neck width was 3.0±0.7 mm. Nineteen patients (79.2%) were double-lobed and 5 (20.8%) were multilobed. Fisher's grade grade 2 in 16 cases (66.7%), grade 3 in 6 cases (25%), and grade 4 in 2 cases (8.3%). Hunt-Hess grade grade 0-2 in 5 cases (20.8%), grade 3-5 in 19 cases (79.2%). Glasgow Coma Scale score 9-12 in 14 cases (58.3%), 13-15 in 10 cases (41.7%). Immediately postprocedural Raymond-Roy grade grade 1 in 23 cases (95.8%), grade 2 in 1 case (4.2%). Raymond-Roy grade in imaging follow-up for 2 weeks to 3 months grade 1 in 23 cases (95.8%), grade 2 in 1 case (4.2%). Follow-up for 2 to 12 months showed that 21 patients (87.5%) had good functional outcomes (modified Rankin Scale score ≤2), and there were no deaths.Conclusion:Endovascular treatment is a safe and effective treatment for ruptured lobulated AcoAA.
