World Neurosurg 2023; 175:e1324-e1340. [PMID: 37169072 DOI: 10.1016/j.wneu.2023.05.008] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 01/18/2023] [Revised: 05/01/2023] [Accepted: 05/02/2023] [Indexed: 05/13/2023]
Abstract
BACKGROUND Wide-necked aneurysms represent a challenge for treatment in the setting of acute subarachnoid hemorrhage. Stent-assisted coiling (SAC) and balloon-assisted coiling (BAC) are well-known techniques for treating wide-necked aneurysms. Comaneci-assisted coiling (CAC) is a newer technique involving temporary stent deployment to assist aneurysm coiling. We aim to present the first meta-analysis comparing these treatments of ruptured aneurysms. METHODS Following PRISMA guidelines, PubMed and Embase databases were queried from earliest records to July 2022 for literature reporting SAC, BAC, or CAC of ruptured intracranial aneurysms. A meta-analysis of identified articles was performed. RESULTS Of the 571 articles queried, 64 articles were included. One study reported BAC and SAC, 8 reported BAC, 52 reported SAC, and 3 reported CAC. These studies comprised 3153 patients with 3207 ruptured aneurysms treated with CAC (161 patients and aneurysms), BAC (330 patients and aneurysms), and SAC (2662 patients, 2716 aneurysms). Rates of periprocedural thromboembolic or hemorrhagic complications, overall or procedure-related mortality, immediate complete occlusion, retreatment, and length of angiographic follow-up did not differ significantly between SAC and BAC. Periprocedural thromboembolic (P = 0.03) and hemorrhagic (P = 0.01) complication rates were higher with BAC than CAC. Periprocedural thromboembolic (P = 0.03) and hemorrhagic (P < 0.0001) complication rates were higher with SAC than CAC. Complete aneurysm occlusion rates (P = 0.033) were higher with CAC than BAC. No significant differences were present in CAC versus BAC or SAC retreatment rates. CONCLUSIONS CAC was associated with lower hemorrhagic and thromboembolic complication rates and demonstrated similar complete occlusion and residual retreatment rates to those for BAC and SAC.

Front Neurol 2023; 14:1196725. [PMID: 37426436 PMCID: PMC10325825 DOI: 10.3389/fneur.2023.1196725] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 04/04/2023] [Accepted: 05/22/2023] [Indexed: 07/11/2023] Open
Abstract
Objective This study aimed to compare the safety and efficacy of single- and multiple-stage endovascular treatment in aneurysmal subarachnoid hemorrhage (SAH) patients with multiple intracranial aneurysms. Methods We retrospectively analyzed the clinical and imaging data of 61 patients who harbored multiple aneurysms and presented to our institution with aneurysmal subarachnoid hemorrhage. Patients were grouped according to endovascular treatment strategy: one-stage or multiple-stage. Result The 61 study patients harbored 136 aneurysms. One aneurysm in each patient had ruptured. In the one-stage treatment group, all 66 aneurysms in 31 patients were treated in one session. The mean follow-up was 25.8 months (range, 12-47). At the last follow-up, the modified Rankin scale was ≤2 in 27 patients. In total, 10 complications occurred (cerebral vasospasm, six patients; cerebral hemorrhage, two patients; and thromboembolism, two patients). In the multiple-stage treatment group, only the ruptured aneurysm (30 in total) was treated at the time of presentation, and the remaining aneurysms (40 in total) were treated later. The mean follow-up was 26.3 months (range, 7-49). At the last follow-up, the modified Rankin scale score was ≤2 in 28 patients. In total, five complications occurred (cerebral vasospasm, four patients; and subarachnoid hemorrhage, one patient). During the follow-up period, there was one recurrence of aneurysm with subarachnoid hemorrhage in the single-stage treatment group and four recurrences in the multiple-stage treatment group. Conclusion Both single- and multiple-stage endovascular treatment is safe and effective in aneurysmal subarachnoid hemorrhage patients who harbor multiple aneurysms. However, multiple-stage treatment is associated with a lower rate of hemorrhagic and ischemic complications.

Abstract
Objective Stent-assisted coiling has been increasingly used in the treatment of intracranial aneurysms. However, its application in ruptured bifurcation aneurysms remains controversial and challenging. This study aimed to present the safety and feasibility of low-profile visualized intraluminal support (LVIS™, LVIS, and LVIS Jr.) stent for acutely ruptured bifurcation aneurysms. Methods A total of 41 patients with acutely ruptured intracranial aneurysms arising at the bifurcation were treated with LVIS™ stent-assisted coiling in our hospital between January 2017 and December 2021. The clinical data and angiographic results of the patients were analyzed. Results Among these patients, all stents were successfully implanted. According to the immediate angiographic results, 29 aneurysms (70.7%) were completely occluded. Intraoperative thrombosis and hemorrhage occurred in two and one cases, respectively. No post-operative thrombosis or rebleeding events were observed. The clinical follow-up of all patients revealed that 38 (92.7%) cases had favorable outcomes (modified Rankin scale: 0-2). The angiographic results available for the 36 patients during the follow-up period revealed complete occlusion was achieved in 30 patients (83.3%) and residual neck in six patients. Conclusion The LVIS™ stent-assistant coiling is a safe and feasible option for acutely ruptured bifurcation aneurysms. Further studies with a prospective design, a larger sample size, and long-term follow-up are needed to validate these findings.

Clinical and Angiographic Outcomes After Stent-Assisted Coiling of Cerebral Aneurysms With Laser-Cut and Braided Stents: A Comparative Analysis of the Literatures. Front Neurol 2021; 12:666481. [PMID: 33995263 PMCID: PMC8116799 DOI: 10.3389/fneur.2021.666481] [Citation(s) in RCA: 3] [Impact Index Per Article: 1.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 02/10/2021] [Accepted: 04/07/2021] [Indexed: 11/13/2022] Open
Abstract
Introduction: Stent-assisted coiling (SAC) plays an important role in endovascular treatment of intracranial aneurysms (IAs). This comparative analysis examines the safety and efficacy of SAC in general and compares clinical and angiographic outcomes between laser-cut stents and braided stents. Methods: Relevant English-language studies were identified via a PubMed search for published articles regarding outcomes of SAC using laser-cut stents and braided stents published from 2015 to 2020. Data from 56 studies that met our inclusion criteria were pooled and statistically compared. Results: A total of 4,373 patients harboring with 4,540 IAs were included. Patients were divided into two groups on the basis of stent type: laser-cut stents (2,076 aneurysms in 1991 patients; mean follow-up, 12.99 months) and braided stents (2,464 aneurysms in 2382 patients; mean follow-up, 18.41 months). Overall, the rates of successful stent deployment, thromboembolic events, stent stenosis, periprocedural intracranial hemorrhage, permanent morbidity, mortality, and recanalization were 97.72, 4.72, 2.87, 1.51, 2.14, 1.16, and 6.06%, respectively. Laser-cut stents were associated with a significantly higher rate of successful deployment (p = 0.003) and significantly lower rate of periprocedural intracranial hemorrhage (p = 0.048). Braided stents were associated with a significantly lower rate of permanent morbidity (p = 0.015). Conclusion: SAC of IAs using laser-cut stents or braided stents was effective and safe. Rates of thromboembolic events, stent stenosis, mortality, and recanalization were comparable between the stent types. Braided stents were associated with lower permanent morbidity while laser-cut stents were associated with more favorable rates of successful deployment and periprocedural intracranial hemorrhage.

Abstract
OBJECTIVES Although multiple intracranial aneurysms (MIAs) are frequent and disastrous, determining treatment strategy for them is often complicated, especially in elderly patients (≥60 years old). We evaluated the safety and effectiveness of one-stage coiling versus surgical clipping for MIAs in elderly patients. METHODS All elderly patients who underwent one-stage embolization or surgical clipping for more than two aneurysms were identified in our hospital between January 2012 and June 2018. Patient characteristics and clinical outcomes at discharge and follow-up were retrospectively evaluated. RESULTS A total of 32 patients with 76 IAs underwent one-stage coiling and 21 patients with 46 IAs underwent one-stage clipping were enrolled in this study. Patients who underwent clipping were younger (mean age 64.1 versus 67.2, P = 0.006) and had lower total hospital costs (mean14764 $ versus 24,620 $, P < 0.001) compared with patients who underwent coiling. Immediate posttreatment angiography showed complete occlusion in 56 aneurysms, near complete in 11 and incomplete in 2 in coiling group. Aneurysms wrapping was performed in 2, incomplete clipping in 1 and complete clipping in 41 aneurysms in clipping group. At discharge, 49 (92.5 %) patients were in a good condition (GOS score 4 and 5), 4 (7.5 %) were disabled. At 12 months after discharge, 25 (92.6 %) and 16 (94.1 %) patients had favorable outcomes in the coiling and clipping groups, respectively. CONCLUSIONS Both one-stage coiling and surgical clipping are safe, effective methods for treating MIAs in elderly patients.
