Assessment of long-term results of intracranial aneurysm clipping by means of computed tomography angiography

Abstract: Computed tomography angiography is a simple and reliable method of aneurysm clipping evaluation. The long- term follow-up CTA confirmed the permanent and complete obliteration of 96% of the aneurysms. The rate of unsatisfactory aneurysm closure was 4%, but only 1.4% needed re-treatment during a mean follow-up of 6 years. The annual risk of aneurysm re-rupture was 0.1%.

“…CT angiography (CTA) is a convenient, noninvasive and reliable method for evaluation before treatment and after coiling or clipping treatment. 1,2 When metal coils or clips are placed in the cerebral artery, artefacts from metals may be produced, which usually influences the post-operative evaluation, especially the detection of residual aneurysm. Digital subtraction angiography is invasive and expensive even though it is the gold standard for diagnosis of the vascular diseases.…”

“…Basic information of case series in review of literature (Supplementary Digital Content, Table 3, http://links.lww.com/ SCS/D690): De novo aneurysms accounted for 8.5% (95% confidence interval [CI]: 0-0.1) of the total follow-up in case series. 2,[5][6][7][8][9][10][11][12][13][14][15][16][17][18][19] The average follow-up time was 9.6 (95% CI: 6.7-12.4). The annual incidence rate was 1.1% (95% CI: 0.7-1.5).…”

“…It may be one of the reasons the retreatment rate of 3.6% achieved in our study is comparatively low. This relatively aggressive approach is particularly applied in the treatment of the AcomA aneurysms, as it is documented that these aneurysms treated with microsurgical clipping are amongst those with the highest recurrence rate in comparison to aneurysms at other locations [25].…”
