Complications and managements of embolization of intracranial aneurysm

Objective To explore the major complications and the managements of embolization of intracranial aneurysm. Methods Seventy-eight cases of intracranial aneurysm, which were embolized with GDC (gugliel mi detachable coils) and/or DCS(detachable coils system) were analyzed retrospectivcely. Results Among the 78 cases, 3 cases complicated with aneurysm rupture, 2 cases complicated with cerebral infarction in operation, 3 cases complicated with cerebral vasospasm, and 2 cases were affected by microcoil terminal escaped in postoperation. Among them 1 patient died, others recovered uneventfully. Conclusion For intravascular embolization of intracranial aneurysm, the healing rate of aneruysmal embolization can be increased and the morbidity and mortality can be decreased as long as the complications are treated properly.
