Summary
Endovascular coiling of multiple intracranial aneurysms in a single session is safe and effective. This approach achieves good occlusion rates without complications, offering potential cost savings.
Area of Science:
- Neurosurgery
- Interventional Radiology
- Vascular Neurology
Background:
- Multiple intracranial aneurysms are a common clinical finding.
- Surgical clipping has been established for treating multiple aneurysms in one procedure.
- Endovascular coiling of multiple aneurysms in a single session is less documented.
Observation:
- This study retrospectively reviewed six cases of multiple intracranial aneurysms treated with endovascular coiling between 2006 and 2009.
- All procedures utilized a single microcatheter, with coiling commencing at distal aneurysms.
- The technique involved sequential coiling of multiple aneurysms within the same endovascular session.
Findings:
- High rates of aneurysm occlusion were achieved in all treated cases.
- The endovascular coiling procedure demonstrated a favorable safety profile.
- No procedure-related complications such as thromboembolic events, rupture, or mortality were observed.
Implications:
- Endovascular coiling of multiple aneurysms in a single session is a safe and effective treatment modality.
- This approach offers potential benefits in terms of reduced healthcare costs.
- Further research may establish this technique as a standard of care for select patients.

Aneurysm management involves either conservative medical therapy or surgical intervention, depending on the size and symptoms of the aneurysm. Conservative management is generally reserved for smaller, asymptomatic aneurysms, while larger or symptomatic aneurysms often necessitate surgical repair.Conservative Medical TherapyFor small, asymptomatic aneurysms, particularly abdominal aortic aneurysms (AAA) less than 5.5 centimeters in diameter, conservative medical therapy is recommended. This...

Vigilant monitoring for aneurysm rupture is essential for patients undergoing aortic surgery.Preoperative Nursing ManagementContinuously monitor the patient for manifestations of aneurysm rupture, such as pallor, weakness, tachycardia, hypotension, abdominal, back, groin, or periumbilical pain, changes in consciousness, and a pulsating abdominal mass. Regularly assess the patient's peripheral pulses.Instruct the patient to consume a clear liquid diet the day before surgery and administer...

Thoracic, aortic arch and abdominal aneurysms are significant vascular conditions that can present with various clinical manifestations and lead to serious complications. Understanding these manifestations and the appropriate diagnostic studies is essential for effective management and treatment.Thoracic Aortic AneurysmsThoracic aortic aneurysms often remain asymptomatic until they reach a size that impinges on adjacent structures. They typically cause deep, diffuse chest pain that radiates to...
