ABBREVIATIONS ACoA = anterior communicating artery; CVA = cerebrovascular accident; EEG = electroencephalography; ICA = internal carotid artery; LOS = length of stay; MCA = middle cerebral artery; MEP = motor evoked potential; mRS = modified Rankin Scale; NIS = National Inpatient Sample; SSEP = somatosensory evoked potential; UIA = unruptured intracranial aneurysm; VA = vertebral artery. OBJECTIVE Risk of ischemia during aneurysm surgery is significantly related to temporary clipping time and final clipping that might incorporate a perforator. In this study, the authors attempted to assess the potential added benefit to patient outcomes of "awake" neurological testing when compared with standard neurophysiological testing performed under general anesthesia. The procedure is performed after the induction of conscious sedation, and for the neurological testing, the patient is fully awake. METHODS The authors conducted an institutional review board-approved prospective study of clipping unruptured intracranial aneurysms (UIAs) in 30 consecutive adult patients who underwent awake clipping. The end points were the incidence of stroke/cerebrovascular accident (CVA), death, discharge to a long-term facility, length of stay, and 30-day modified Rankin Scale score. All clinical and neurophysiological intraoperative monitoring data were recorded. RESULTS The median patient age was 52 years (range 27-63 years); 19 (63%) female and 11 (37%) male patients were included. Twenty-seven (90%) aneurysms were anterior, and 3 (10%) were posterior circulation aneurysms. Five (17%) had been coiled previously, 3 (10%) had been clipped previously, 2 (7%) were partially calcified, and 2 (7%) were fusiform aneurysms. Three patients developed synchronous clinical neurological and neurophysiological changes during temporary clipping with consequent removal of the temporary clip and reversal of those clinical and neurophysiological changes. Three patients developed asynchronous clinical neurological and neurophysiological changes. These 3 patients developed hemiparesis without changes in neurophysiological monitoring results. One patient developed linked clinical neurological and neurophysiological changes during final clipping that were not reversed by reapplication of the clip, and the patient had a CVA. Four patients with internal carotid artery ophthalmic segment aneurysms underwent visual testing with final clipping, and 1 of these patients required repositioning of the clip. Three patients who required permanent occlusion of a vessel as part of their aneurysm treatment underwent a 10-minute intraoperative clinical respective-vessel test occlusion. The median length of stay was 3 days (range 1-5 days). The median modified Rankin Scale score was 1 (range 0-3). All of the patients were discharged to home from the hospital except for 1 who developed a CVA and was discharged to a rehabilitation facility. There were no deaths in this series. CONCLUSIONS The 3 patients who developed neurological deterioration without a concomitant neurophysi...

“…This trend of decreased morbidity and mortality observed in patients with AcomA aneurysm over time is consistent with the finding that morbidity and mortality rates have increasingly been reduced across time among a sample of patients treated with endovascular coiling in the United States (Nationwide Inpatient Sample). 28,33,34 These studies showed that morbidity rates decreased from 7. Across this time period stratification, our meta-analysis also showed that the overall aneurysm retreatment rate doubled from 5-10% when comparing studies published before and after 2007; however, the trend toward an increase was not statistically significant.…”

“…44 Numerous studies have shown a lower periprocedural morbidity and mortality associated with endovascular treatment and lower rates of discharge to long-term care facilities. 44,45 Some authors have suggested that Ͼ90% of aneurysms can now be effectively treated by using endovascular techniques. 46 However, the durability of coil embolization remains frequently debated due to the increased risk of residual aneurysm components or neck remnants, interval rupture or rebleeding (Ͻ1%), and the additional risk of retreatment.…”

SUMMARY:Autosomal dominant polycystic kidney disease is a genetic disorder affecting 1 in 1000 people worldwide and is associated with an increased risk of intracranial aneurysms. It remains unclear whether there is sufficient net benefit to screening this patient population for IA, considering recent developments in imaging and treatment and our evolving understanding of the natural history of unruptured aneurysms. There is currently no standardized screening protocol for IA in patients with ADPCKD. Our review of the literature focused on the above issues and presents our appraisal of the estimated value of screening for IA in the setting of ADPCKD.ABBREVIATIONS: ADPCKD ϭ autosomal dominant polycystic kidney disease; GFR ϭ glomerular filtration rate; IA ϭ intracranial aneurysm; QALY ϭ quality-

Hospital Mortality and Complications of Electively Clipped or Coiled Unruptured Intracranial Aneurysm

Abstract: Elective coiling of unruptured intracranial aneurysms is associated with fewer deaths and perioperative complications compared with elective clipping. The trend of hospital use of the coiling procedures has increased during recent years.
