Purpose
Aneurysmal disease,
especially acute ruptured cerebral aneurysms,
poses a great social problem which is characterized by high rate of resulting disability and even mortality.
1%-10% of the population suffer from this pathology,
up to 2% of them - ruptured.
30-days mortality is up to 45% and about 30% of patients also suffer significant neurological deficit [7,
8,
10].
In the Republic of Belarus idiopathic intracranial hemorrhage occurs in 14,5 cases out of 100,000 of population and of those 39,6%-85% - are due to aneurysmal sac...
Methods and materials
Retrospective analysis of diagnostic results pre- and completely postembolized ruptured cerebral saccular aneurysms,
obtained from 28 patients both sexes, was performed.
There were 9 (32,1%) male patients with mean age 56,1±12,3 years and 19 (67,9%) female 53,7±13 years old.
Mean age - 54,5±12,5 years.
Distribution of aneurysms by localisation presented on Fig. 1 .
Most common sites of aneurysms were anterior and medial cerebral arteries – in 39,3% and 28,6% correspondingly.
By size we divided all aneurysm on small aneurysms (<5 mm),
medium aneurysms (5<...
Results
There was no statistical difference (p<0,05) in linear parameters and volumes of aneurysmal sac comparing data from CTA and DSA (axial scans and 3D images).
But in 28,6% of cases involving CTA images,
aneurysmal neck wasn’t clearly visualized ( Fig. 4 ) and in 21,4% of cases it wasn’t visible efferents less than 1 mm in diameter originating from the aneurysmal sac.
( Fig. 5 ).
Statistically significant increases of aneurysmal sack volume up to 106,8% were revealed on DSA images ( Fig. 6 )....
Conclusion
Linear parameters of cerebral aneurysm and their mean volumes were comparable in 2D and 3D modes,
both obtained by CTA and DSA.
DSA has a prevalence in diagnostic of aneurysmal neck and aneurysm topography (branches origin from sac or near).
During embolization,
small and medium aneurysms can safely grow up to 106,7% without rebleeding.
Less hydrogel polymer coated coils are needed for total aneurysm embolization up to 15 mm in diameter.
In according to increasing of aneurysmal length and decreasing width - increases amount of...
