Coiling Variations for Treatment of Ruptured Intracranial Aneurysms: A Meta-Analytical Comparison of Comaneci-, Stent-, and Balloon-Coiling Assistance Techniques. World Neurosurg 2023; 175:e1324-e1340. [PMID: 37169072 DOI: 10.1016/j.wneu.2023.05.008] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 01/18/2023] [Revised: 05/01/2023] [Accepted: 05/02/2023] [Indexed: 05/13/2023]
Abstract
BACKGROUND Wide-necked aneurysms represent a challenge for treatment in the setting of acute subarachnoid hemorrhage. Stent-assisted coiling (SAC) and balloon-assisted coiling (BAC) are well-known techniques for treating wide-necked aneurysms. Comaneci-assisted coiling (CAC) is a newer technique involving temporary stent deployment to assist aneurysm coiling. We aim to present the first meta-analysis comparing these treatments of ruptured aneurysms. METHODS Following PRISMA guidelines, PubMed and Embase databases were queried from earliest records to July 2022 for literature reporting SAC, BAC, or CAC of ruptured intracranial aneurysms. A meta-analysis of identified articles was performed. RESULTS Of the 571 articles queried, 64 articles were included. One study reported BAC and SAC, 8 reported BAC, 52 reported SAC, and 3 reported CAC. These studies comprised 3153 patients with 3207 ruptured aneurysms treated with CAC (161 patients and aneurysms), BAC (330 patients and aneurysms), and SAC (2662 patients, 2716 aneurysms). Rates of periprocedural thromboembolic or hemorrhagic complications, overall or procedure-related mortality, immediate complete occlusion, retreatment, and length of angiographic follow-up did not differ significantly between SAC and BAC. Periprocedural thromboembolic (P = 0.03) and hemorrhagic (P = 0.01) complication rates were higher with BAC than CAC. Periprocedural thromboembolic (P = 0.03) and hemorrhagic (P < 0.0001) complication rates were higher with SAC than CAC. Complete aneurysm occlusion rates (P = 0.033) were higher with CAC than BAC. No significant differences were present in CAC versus BAC or SAC retreatment rates. CONCLUSIONS CAC was associated with lower hemorrhagic and thromboembolic complication rates and demonstrated similar complete occlusion and residual retreatment rates to those for BAC and SAC.

Utility of flow diverters in treatment of acutely ruptured uncoilable aneurysms of the posterior circulation of the brain. Jpn J Radiol 2023:10.1007/s11604-023-01409-y. [PMID: 36920731 DOI: 10.1007/s11604-023-01409-y] [Citation(s) in RCA: 4] [Impact Index Per Article: 4.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 09/13/2022] [Accepted: 02/27/2023] [Indexed: 03/16/2023]
Abstract
PURPOSE Aim of this study is to evaluate safety and efficacy of flow diverters (FDs) in treatment of acutely ruptured posterior circulation aneurysms MATERIALS AND METHODS: Databases of three participating institutions were retrospectively scanned for patients in whom FD placement was attempted for treatment of acutely ruptured vertebrobasilar aneurysms. An interval of 14 days or fewer between the latest ictus and treatment was used as inclusion criterion. Patients with dolichoectasia of vertebrobasilar arteries were excluded. If necessary, adjunctive techniques including coiling or stenting were utilized. Clinical outcomes were graded using mWFNS (modified World Federation of Neurosurgical Societies Scale) and mRS (modified Rankin Scale). Aneurysmal occlusion was defined as Raymond-Roy Class 1. Spearman's (ρ) test was used to assess the correlation between variables. Univariate and multivariate logistic regression were used to assess outcomes. RESULTS 31 patients (25 women, mean age: 52.7 ± 15.2) harboring 32 aneurysms (16 non-saccular, mean size: 11.4 ± 7 mm) were included. Mean number of FDs used was 1.22 ± 0.42. In six cases, adjunctive coiling and in five cases, apposing stent placement were used. Overall mortality rate and procedure-related mortality rates were 22.5% (7/31) and 9.6% (3/31), respectively. At a mean imaging follow-up of 17.2 ± 12.6 months, total occlusion was achieved in 22 aneurysms (91.6%). Univariate analysis showed that mortality was positively correlated with vasospasm (ρ = 0.600, p < 0.05), higher mWFNS Scale (ρ = 0.685, p < 0.05), higher modified Fischer Score (ρ = 0.609, p < 0.05), higher mRS (ρ = 0.594, p < 0.05) on admission and negatively correlated with saccular morphology (ρ = -0.529, p < 0.05). Multivariate logistic regression identified mWFNS on admission as a significant predictor. (OR: 7.148, 95% CI 1.777-28.758, p: 0.01). Adjunctive coiling positively correlated with aneurysm occlusion. (ρ = 0.522, p < 0.05). CONCLUSION The procedure-related morbidity and mortality is not negligible. However, the risks and efficacy associated with FDs are acceptable, especially when adjunctive coiling is possible, given the lack of treatment alternatives.

Abstract
Objective To investigate the effect of nursing intervention on patients with intracranial aneurysm subarachnoid hemorrhage who underwent interventional embolization. Methods According to the random number table method, 80 patients with subarachnoid hemorrhage caused by intracranial aneurysm who received interventional embolization in our hospital from September 2018 to May 2021 were randomly divided into a control group of 40 cases and an observation group of 40 cases. 40 cases, the two groups were implemented routine nursing and humanized nursing. Results Compared with before nursing, the anxiety score, depression score, compliance rate, complication rate and PSQI score of the observation group were significantly lower than those of the control group after nursing (P < 0.05); Karnofsky Performance Status Scale score, Activity of daily living scale of the observation group and quality of life scores were significantly higher than those in the control group (P < 0.05). Conclusion Humanized nursing can effectively improve the psychological state of patients with subarachnoid hemorrhage caused by intracranial aneurysm during the perioperative period of interventional embolization, enhance their compliance with treatment, reduce complications, and make patients more satisfied with nursing services.

Abstract
BACKGROUND AND PURPOSE Stent bulging technique has been introduced as a technique that improves the outcome of aneurysm coiling. Our aim was to evaluate the utility of this technique, which involves the intentional herniation of stents into the bifurcation aneurysms during coiling. MATERIALS AND METHODS Unruptured bifurcation aneurysms treated by stent-assisted coiling using a single type of low-profile braided (LEO Baby) stent between November 2012 and October 2018 were retrospectively evaluated. The clinical (age and sex) and morphologic characteristics (aneurysm size, neck size, proximal/distal diameters of the stented artery, incorporation of the origins of the side branches to the aneurysm neck, and bifurcation angle) and response to antiplatelet therapy were evaluated. RESULTS Sixty-one patients (29 men, 47.5%; mean age, 55.95 [SD, 12.33] years) with 66 aneurysms were included. There were 36 aneurysms in group A (treated with the stent bulging technique) and 30 aneurysms in group B (treated by classic stent-assisted coiling). There was no significant difference in the patient and aneurysm characteristics in the groups except for the larger size and wider neck of the aneurysms in group A (P = .02 and P = .04, respectively). At the mean follow-up of 27.30 (SD, 17.45) months, there was no significant difference in the complication rate, the occlusion status, and the early and long-term occlusion rates between the groups. The stent bulging technique did not predict total occlusion (Raymond-Roy I) at the final imaging follow-up. CONCLUSIONS The stent bulging technique enables the coiling of larger, wide-neck aneurysms; however, we did not observe an added flow-diversion effect with the stent bulging technique compared with conventional stent-assisted coiling. We, therefore, suggest that bifurcation aneurysms should be coiled as densely and as safely as possible using this technique.
