Abstract

Objective To summarize 22 cases with 24 intracranial aneurysms treated with GDC. To discuss the major factors for endovascular treatment, time of the embolization and management of the bleeding during and after the procedure. Methods 22 cases with 24 aneurysms were treated by GDC18 system and GDC10 system. Results Complete embolization was observed in 16 aneurysms, subtotal in 6, and partial in 2. One case with recurrence for rebleeding of the aneurysm after one month and a half of the embolization was cured by surgical clipping. No motality was occurred the procedure. Conclusions Embolization therapy with GDC in intracranial aneurysms is a safe technique with a better efficacy.
