Abstract:
Objective To To evaluate the efficacy of Guglielmidetachable coil (GDC)F embolization in treatment of intracranial aneurysms and summarize the main points of GDC manipulation.Methods Thirty two patients were examined with digital substraction angiography (DSA) and 34 intracranial aneurysms were found, including 15 aneurysms in the anterior communication artery, 13 in the posterior communi cation artery, 2 in the middle cerebral a rtery, 1 in the anterior cerebral artery and 1 Ophthalmic artery. After wards GDC was used for embolization therapy. Results Thirty two patients with 34 aneurysms were successfully embolized with GDCs. Complete embolization achieved in 20 patients and incomplete in 12 patients; while one aneurysm ruptured during the performance, but all curedafter treatment. Vas cular spasm occurred in 2 patients, one of them had slight hemiplegia. Sixpatients with 7 aneurysms were followed up by DSA examinationl year after operation. No obvious change was observed.Conclusions Treatment of intracranial aneurysms with GDC embolization is a safe, reliable, and effective measure. Skillful techniques of the operator and correct management of complications are important factors affecting the outcome of operation. A period follow up is essential to patients with partial embolism.
