Abstract:
Objective To investigate the safety and feasibility of early intervention treatment for aneurysmal subarachnoid hemorrhage in the elderly. Methods Within 6 to 72 hours after hemorrhage,89 aneurysms were detected by overall brain angiogram in 84 elderly patients(aged above 60 years)Who were diagnosed as subarachnoid hemorrhage on CT.HUNT-HESS grade was as following:26 cases of grade Ⅱ,31 cases of grade Ⅲ,25 cases of grade Ⅳ,2 cases of grade Ⅴ.Interventional embolization treatment was performed immediately.Aceording to the structure of the aneurysm,pure coil embolization,balloon assisted technique and combined with stent technique were performed.Anhydration,fluid expansion,vessel dilatation,lumbar puncture and/or lumbar drainage were performed after procedure.At the same time,the complications were treated. Results Eighty-three aneurysms were embolized successfully in 89 patients.The Success rate of the technique was 93.3%.The Glasgow Outcome Seale(GOS)score at 3 months post procedure showed a good result in 68 patients.medium disability in 7 patients,severe disability in 4 patients,death in 5 patients (1 case was related to the technique). Conclusions Interventional embolization iS a safe and effective therapeutic approach in elderly patients with subarachnoid hemorrhage.
