Abstract:
Objective To introduce our experience in embolizing cerebral ruptured-aneurysms of elderly patients in our hospital. Methods Totally 76 elderly patients were referred to our hospital due to ruptured-aneurysms.81 aneurysms were confirmed by DSA,all of them were sac aneurysms,among which 75 cases (body/neck≥ 1) were treated with balloon-assisted coiling,29 narrow-necked (body/neck≥2) aneurysms and 30 wide-necked (1 ≤ body/neck＜ 2) aneurysms were treated with balloon-assisted coiling successfully,but 6 narrow-necked (body/neck≥2) were treated with balloonassisted coiling in emergency,followed by a stent-assisted coiling in secondary embolization,4 cases with body/neck＜1 were treated with stent-assisted coiling technique in emergency,2 non ruptured aneurysms could not be treated.The times of balloon dilation were (2.1 ± 1.3),single expansion of filling was (33.4±14.1)s. Results The arterial thrombosis happened in two patients (2.7 ％),two aneurysms ruptured (5.3％) during the procedure. No stent-related thrombosis happened. 86were elevated as good,8 as serious according to the Glasgow outcome scale,neither died after operation or delayed thrombosis or infarction lesion during following up. Conclusions Balloonassisted coiling is a safe and effective method in elderly patients during acute stage of rupturedaneurysms.
