Predictors of thromboembolic complications after stent-assisted coiling of acutely ruptured intracranial aneurysms: A retrospective multicenter study

BackgroundStent-assisted coiling (SAC) has been reported to safely and effectively treat wide-necked unruptured intracranial aneurysms. However, SAC of acutely ruptured aneurysms is controversial because of perioperative thromboembolic complications. We aimed to investigate the predictors of the thr...

description BackgroundStent-assisted coiling (SAC) has been reported to safely and effectively treat wide-necked unruptured intracranial aneurysms. However, SAC of acutely ruptured aneurysms is controversial because of perioperative thromboembolic complications. We aimed to investigate the predictors of the thromboembolic complications after SAC of acutely ruptured aneurysms.MethodsWe performed a retrospective multicenter analysis of 110 consecutive patients with ruptured intracranial aneurysms treated with SAC within 72 h of the onset of subarachnoid hemorrhage. Thromboembolic complications were defined as any angiographic filling defects at the aneurysms base or the distal artery during the stent treatment and the new onset of symptomatic ischemia and a new hypo-density in a vascular distribution confirmed by CT scan within 24 h of treatment. These patients were grouped into patients with thromboembolic complications and those without thromboembolic complications. A multivariate logistic regression analysis was performed to identify predictors of thromboembolic complications.ResultsOne hundred and one patients with 101 ruptured aneurysms were included in this study. 9 (8.9%) patients experienced thromboembolic complications. Patients with thromboembolic complications had a higher rate of unfavorable outcomes at discharge (P < 0.001) and at the last follow-up (p = 0.017). Of these patients, four patients presented with intraprocedural thrombus formation, and 5 experienced postprocedural ischemia. There was a trend toward thromboembolic complications in patients with a higher Fisher grade (p = 0.076) and those treated with intravenous tirofiban (p = 0.052). Patients with thromboembolic complications more often presented with poor grade clinical conditions (p = 0.005) and aneurysms with a large dome to neck ratio (p = 0.031). In the multivariate analysis, a worse World Federation World Federation of Neurological Societies (WFNS) grade (OR = 8.241; 95% CI 1.686–40.292; P = 0.009) and a larger dome to neck ratio (OR = 5.385; 95% CI 1.023–28.337; P = 0.047) were independent predictors of thromboembolic complications.ConclusionPatients with thromboembolic complications are more likely to have an unfavorable outcome. A worse clinical condition before the treatment and a larger dome to neck ratio were independent predictors of thromboembolic complications after SAC of acutely ruptured intracranial aneurysms.
