Surgical Treatment of 127 Paraclinoid Aneurysms with Multifarious Strategy: Factors Related with Outcome
Abstract
Few reports have been published discussing surgical outcomes of paraclinoid aneurysms using multifarious treatments such as high-flow bypass. We retrospectively analyzed findings from 127 consecutive patients (19 males, mean age at surgery: 56.8 years, range: 19-81 years) at our hospital. The size of aneurysms ranged from 2.7-43.2 mm (mean: 6.9 mm). Extradural anterior clinoidectomy was used to clip small aneurysms. As large or giant aneurysms required a longer temporal occlusion period and often could not undergo simple clipping, high-flow bypass with anterior clinoidectomy or cervical internal carotid ligation was performed to reduce aneurysm blood flow and induce thrombosis. We reviewed a postoperative modified Rankin Scale (mRS), radiographic outcomes, cerebral infarction, and visual disturbance. In addition, we analyzed factors relating to the outcomes and complications, with focus on the aneurysm size, location, and type of surgical treatment. Good outcomes were achieved in all patients, as follows: mRS 0:100, mRS 1:16, mRS 2:11, and mRS 3-6:0. Among the 127 patients, complete exclusion of aneurysm was achieved in 119 cases (93.7%). Postoperative morbidity included ischemic lesions in 11 (8.6%) and visual disturbance in 2...Continue Reading
