Objective To explore the risk factors of perioperative complications of cerebral aneurysms after stent-assisted coiling. Methods A retrospective analysis of clinical data of 395 patients with cerebral aneurysms after stent-assisted coiling, admitted to our hospital from January 1, 2011 to December 31, 2017, was performed. Univariate and multivariate Logistic regression analyses were used to determine the risk factors of perioperative complications of cerebral aneurysms after stent-assisted coiling (intraoperative stent thrombosis and bleeding events, postoperative ischemic and hemorrhage events, and other unclassified complications). The preoperative aneurysm status was analyzed by Hunt-Hess grading and Trend test was conducted to analyze its statistical significance. Results Intraprocedural thrombosis and hemorrhage occurred in 2.28% patients (9/395) and 1.01%patients (4/395), respectively. Postprocedural ischemic stroke and hemorrhage occurred in 3.54% patients (14/395) and 1.27% patients (5/395), respectively. One patient suffered intraprocedural thrombosis and postprocedural ischemic stroke. Univariate Logistic regression analysis showed that pretreatment ruptured aneurysm was the risk factor of perioperative complications (OR=2.466, 95%CI: 1.267-4.797, P=0.008).In multivariate Logistic regression analysis, diabetes and pretreatment ruptured aneurysm were independent risk factors of perioperative complications (OR=4.275, 95%CI: 1.260-14.508, P=0.020;OR=2.442, 95%CI: 1.182-5.043, P=0.016). As compared with patients with low Hunt-Hess grading, patients with high Hunt-Hess grading had higher risk of perioperative complications in tests for linear trend (OR=1.509, 95%CI: 1.142-1.993, P=0.004). Conclusions The incidence of perioperative complications is high in patients with diabetes or pretreatment ruptured aneurysm. Hunt-Hess grading can accurately determine the risk of perioperative complications.
