Objective To analyze the complications and clinical effects of interventional embolization and surgical clipping for the treatment of posterior communicating artery aneurysms, and to compare the results between the two methods.Methods A total of 90 patients with confirmed posterior communicating artery aneurysm, who were admitted to the Second Affiliated Hospital of Zhengzhou University during the period from August 2013 to March 2015, were enrolled in this study. Of the 90 patients, 49 received interventional embolization therapy (interventional embolization group) and 41 underwent surgical clipping treatment (surgical clipping group). Before the treatment the patient's condition was evaluated according to Hunt-Hess classification, after the treatment the therapeutic effect was assessed with Glasgow prognosis scale (GOS). The postoperative GOS scores and complications in patients with different Hunt-Hess classification were compared between the two groups. Results In patients of Hunt-Hess 0-Ⅲ grade, no statistically significant differences in postoperative GOS scores existed between the interventional embolization group and the surgical clipping group (t=0.842,P>0.05), while the postoperative GOS scores in patients of Hunt-HessⅣgrade of the interventional embolization group was remarkably higher than that in patients of Hunt-HessⅣgrade of the surgical clipping group, the difference was statistically significant (t=1.713,P<0.05). The incidence of complications in the interventional embolization group was significantly lower than that in the surgical clipping group (x2=1.036,P<0.05). Conclusion For the treatment of Hunt-Hess 0-Ⅲgrade posterior communicating artery aneurysms, the interventional embolization and the surgical clipping show no difference in their therapeutic effects; while for the treatment of Hunt-Hess Ⅳ grade posterior communicating artery aneurysms, the interventional embolization in superior to the surgical clipping, as the interventional embolization carries lower operation risk and complication incidence, and it also has reliable effect.
