Microsurgery for Intracranial Aneurysms

Objective To explore the imaging characteristics, operative opportunity and skill of intracranial aneurysms, the therapeutic effect of microsurgery on them and the prevention of operative complications in the patients with intracranial aneurysms. Method The Clinical data of 82 patients with intracranial aneurysms who underwent microsurgery from January, 2007 to December, 2008 were analyzed retrospectively. Results Ninety-two aneurysms were clipped successfully in 82 patients with intracranial aneurysms. The rupture and bleeding of the aneurysms occurred during the surgery in 9 patients. According to GOS, 61 were recovered well, 12 were moderately disabled, 6 were severely disabled, 1 vegetabaly survived and 2 died. Conclusions Both the DSA and 3D-CTA were the effective methods to diagnose intracranial aneurysms. Microsurgical treatment of intracranial aneurysms was safe, reliable and effective, but its opportunity and skill, and treatment and the prevention of the complications should be paid attention to.
