Embolization of Intracranial Ruptured Aneurysm in Early Stage Using Guglielmi Detachable Coil

Objective To explore the effects of embolizing intracranial ruptured aneurysm in early stage using Guglielmi Detachable Coil (GDC). Methods 10 intracranial ruptured aneurysms including 8 cases of the first ruptured and 2 cases of the second ruptured were studied. The locations of aneurysm were as following: 1 case in anterior cerebral artery, 1 case in middle cerebral artery, 5 cases in anterior communicating artery, 2 cases in posterior communicating artery, and 1 case of multianeurysm in anterior and posterior communicating artery. Hunt-Hess grade was as following: 2 cases of gradeⅠ,4 cases of gradeⅡ, 2 cases of gradeⅢ, 1 case of grade Ⅳ, and 1 case of grade Ⅴ. Fisher CT scale was as following: 2 cases of gradeⅠ, 6 cases of gradeⅡ,and 2 cases of grade Ⅲ. Embolization of intracranial ruptured aneurysm was performed in early stage using GDC, 7 cases in 3 days after ruptured, and 3 cases in 6 days after ruptured. Results Among 11 aneurysms in 10 cases, 8 cases were 100% embolization, 2 cases≥95%, and 1 case≥90%. Followed-up from 1 month to 2 years after operation 1 case was dead, 7 cases recovered well, 1 case was in vegetable state, and 1 case occurred subarachnoid hemorrhage again. Conclusions GDC early embolization is preferable technique for treating intracranial ruptured aneurysm.
