Abstract

The HydroCoil Endovascular Aneurysm Occlusion and Packing Study (HELPS) was a randomized, controlled trial comparing HydroCoils with bare-platinum coils. The purpose of this study was to perform a subgroup analysis of angiographic and clinical outcomes of medium-sized aneurysms in the HELPS trial. Patients with medium-sized aneurysms (5-9.9 mm) were selected from the HELPS trial. Outcomes compared between the HydroCoil and bare-platinum groups included the following: 1) any recurrence, 2) major recurrence, 3) retreatment, and 4) mRS score of ≤2. Subgroup analysis by rupture status was performed. Multivariate logistic regression analysis adjusting for aneurysm neck size, shape, use of adjunctive device, and rupture status was performed. Two hundred eighty-eight patients with medium-sized aneurysms were randomized (144 in each group). At 15-18 months posttreatment, the major recurrence rate was significantly lower in the HydroCoil group than in controls (18.6% versus 30.8%, P = .03, respectively). For patients with recently ruptured aneurysms, the major recurrence rate was significantly lower for the HydroCoil group than for controls (20.3% versus 47.5%, P = .003), while rates were similar between groups for unruptured aneurysms ...Continue Reading
