Clinical Effect of Intra-aneurysmal Embolization Combined with Cerebrospinal Fluid Replacement on Patients with Subarachnoid Hemorrhage

Objective: To explore the clinical effect of intra-aneurysmal embolization combined with cerebrospinal fluid(CSF) replacement on patients with subarachnoid hemorrhage(SAH).Methods: Eighty-four SAH patients were divided into three groups.Patients in group A(n=26) were treated with intra-aneurysmal embolization combined with CSF replacement;patients in group B(n=28) with embolization alone;and patients in group C(n=30) with conventional medication only.The recovery time of CSF,duration of neck rigidity and headache,rate of hydrocephalus and death rate were analyzed and compared.Results: The recovery time of CSF,duration of neck rigidity and headache in group A were significantly shorter than those in group C(P0.01) and group B(P0.05).The incidence rate of hydrocephalus in group A were lower than that in group C(P0.05).No patients died in group A and B,but six patients died in group C.Conclusion: Intra-aneurysmal embolization combined with CSF replacement is a safe and effective treatment for SAH.
