Abstract:
Objective:This study aims to analyze the angiographic features, demographic factors, and outcomes of endovascular treatment for ruptured intracranial aneurysms (IAs) in Central India.
Methods:This retrospective observational study was conducted in the Department of Interventional Radiology at a tertiary care hospital in Central India. It included 102 patients diagnosed with subarachnoid haemorrhage due to ruptured IAs between December 2021 and November 2024. Demographic data, comorbidities, angiographic features (size, location, morphology, and multiplicity), and clinical severity were analyzed. Patients underwent endovascular treatments such as unassisted coiling, stent-assisted coiling, and other techniques. Functional outcomes were evaluated using the Modified Rankin Scale (mRS).
Results:Females (62.8%) were more affected than males, with a peak incidence in the 51–60 years age group. Hypertension (44.1%) was the most common comorbidity. Most aneurysms (88.4%) were located in the anterior circulation, with the anterior communicating artery (27.7%) being the most common site. Small (<5 mm) and saccular aneurysms (96.4%) predominated. Unassisted coiling was the most performed procedure (68.6%). At admission, 83.3% of patients had poor functional outcomes (mRS 3–6), but 68.6% achieved good outcomes (mRS 0–2) by discharge.
Conclusions:Ruptured IAs in Central India predominantly affect females and involve the anterior circulation. Endovascular treatment significantly improves functional outcomes by reducing the re-rupture risk of an aneurysm, underscoring its effectiveness in managing this high-risk condition.
