Abstract
BACKGROUND: Anterior communicating artery aneurysms are the second most common type of intracranial aneurysm and have a high incidence of rupture. Intraprocedural rupture can lead to a high mortality and morbidity rate, representing a major challenge in emergency endovascular treatment of ruptured anterior communicating artery aneurysms. METHODS: We performed a retrospective review of 344 consecutive patients with emergency endovascular treatment of ruptured anterior communicating artery aneurysms. Patients were grouped into intraprocedural rupture and non-intraprocedural rupture groups according to whether intraprocedural rupture occurred. Demographic and clinical factors, vessel-related factors and therapy-related factors were compared between the two groups. RESULTS: Intraprocedural rupture occurred in 11 patients (3.2%). Univariate analysis showed that hypertension, the occurrence of vasospasm, aneurysm size, aneurysm angle and a high aspect ratio value were significantly associated with intraprocedural rupture (P < 0.05). Multivariate analysis showed that hypertension odds ratio (OR, 9.799; P = 0.007), the occurrence of vasospasm (OR, 10.121; P = 0.002) and a high aspect ratio value (OR, 10.571; P = 0.006) were independent risk factors for intraprocedural rupture. CONCLUSIONS: A history of hypertension, the occurrence of vasospasm and a high aspect ratio value are independent risk factors for intraprocedural rupture among patients with ruptured anterior communicating artery aneurysms.
