Neurosurgical clipping and endovascular coiling are methods used to treat patients who have ruptured intracranial aneurysms; however, the safety and efficacy of these treatments relative to one ...

Haemorrhagic brain stroke is a major cause of long-term disability and even death. The life-threatening medical condition leads to irreversible damage to the brain cells. However, with the emergence ...

Patients who require rescue treatment after receiving endovascular coiling for cerebral aneurysms face higher morbidity and mortality if given thrombolytic agents rather than glycoprotein IIb/IIIa ...

Background To compare the effects of endovascular coiling and neurosurgical clipping in patients with unruptured intracranial aneurysm. Methods Sixteen electronic databases were searched for articles ...

A recent paper published in The Lancet has compared neurosurgical clipping with endovascular coiling in patients with ruptured intracranial aneurysm. Of the two treatments, endovascular coiling was ...

Endovascular coiling to treat ruptured and unruptured intracranial aneurysms offers high long-term occlusion rates in elderly patients, according to a meta-analysis published in the July 2013 issue of ...

The risks associated with treating a recurrent or residual brain aneurysm that was initially treated by endovascular coiling are low, according to a multicenter study. The risks associated with ...

CINCINNATI—A very low risk of complication is associated with a routine test that determines whether a brain aneurysm treated with endovascular coiling has started to recur, a study led by the ...

A landmark clinical trial led by UK researchers has shown that patients who suffer a brain haemorrhage from a ruptured aneurysm[1] have a significantly better chance of surviving without disability if ...

Anything more aggressive than leaving a tiny unruptured intracranial aneurysm alone may be detrimental to the patient's health, researchers suggested. How an aneurysm measuring 3 mm or smaller is ...

This study showed that coiling is associated with less harm than clipping in terms of disability measured by mRS and GOS, neurological and cardiac complications, but all of the studies included were ...
