Endovascular embolization of intracranial aneurysmswith Guglielmi detachable coils

Objective: To study the effect of endovascular embolization on intracranial aneurysms with Guglielmi detachable coils (GDC). Methods: Sixty patients with intracranial aneurysms, including 51 with subarachnoid hemorrhage(SAH) were treated with GDC by cerebral angingraphy microcatheter under digital subtraction antiography (DSA) imaging. Results: Neither death nor permanent complication occurred in 60 patients. But one suffered transient aphasia and hemiparesis, recovering 24 hours after medical treatment. Complete occlusion was achieved angiographically in 54 and partial embolization in 6 patients. Conclusion: Endovascular embolization of intracranial aneurysms with GDC is a better alternative because of its safety, reliance and curative effect.
