Abstract

Objective:To assess the value of embolization of intracranial aneurysms with GDC.Methods:17 patients with 18 intracranial aneurysms were treated with GDC.15 patients presented SAH with the following classifications of Hunt and Hess grading: Grade Ⅰand Ⅱ with 10 patients respectively;Ⅲ with 3;Ⅳ with 2.Results:13 patients had excellent clinical outcomes,and 3 patients suffered from transient paralysis after embolization,but recovered following medical treatment medical treatment and one patient died.Conclusion:Endovascular treatment of intracranial aneurysms with GDC is a better alternative but a long term follow up is necessary.
