Abstract/OtherAbstract:
Summary: We have treated 142 aneurysms with intrasaccular or parent artery occlusions. Selective intrasaccular occlusions were attempted on 109 cases. Total or subtotal saccular occlusion was achieved in 93 of 96 cases. lntrasaccular occlusion could not be achieved in 13 cases because of various reasons such as wide neck, branching from aneurysmal dome, difficult to catheterize, and aneurysm too small. Parent artery occlusion was attempted on 33 cases. Twenty-five patients had giant aneurysms of the internal carotid artery (ICA) at the cavernous portion. The rest of this group had dissecting or fusiform aneurysms of the vertebral artery. Parent artery occlusion was achieved in 30 cases with six ischemic symptoms. High percentage of occlusion rate and low morbidity and mortality for metallic coil embolization prove the efficacy of this endovascular treatment.
