Abstract

State University of Medicine and Pharmacy ”Nicolae Testemitanu”, Institute of Neurology and Neurosurgery ”Diomid Gherman”, Congresul consacrat aniversării a 75-a de la fondarea Universității de Stat de Medicină și Farmacie „Nicolae Testemițanu” din Republica Moldova, Ziua internațională a științei pentru pace și dezvoltareIntroduction Cerebral aneurysm rupture accounts for 80% of nontraumatic SAH and has a high rate of complications and death. Endovascular coiling embolization of the aneurysm is a basic method for aneurysm exclusion from circulation to prevent a repeated rupture. Purpose The main purpose of this presentation is to share the results of a series of cases that underwent aneurysm coiling for aneurysmal SAH. Material and methods The study represents a series of patients who underwent aneurysm coiling for the treatment of SAH. Before intervention the patients were assessed based on different scales. Outcome criteria were assessed at 3 and 6 months. Results All the patients were initially evaluated with an angiographic study (CT angio or angiography) for planning the intervention. Coiling and baloon-assisted coiling were procedures used in the majority of cases. The majority of cases were successfully and the patients were discharged in a mRS score below 3. Conclusions Considering minimal invasiveness of endovascular coiling of an brain aneurysm for a patient, than neurosurgical clipping, we conclude that implementation of this technique will improve the quality of patient care and improve clinical results
