Abstract
Purpose: Many studies are showing that coil package density (CPD) is an important predictive factor in intracranial aneurysm recurrence. In this study, we aimed to show the role of CPD in aneurysm stable occlusion according to the endovascular technique used in the treatment.Materials and Methods: Retrospective analysis of 31 intracranial aneurysms in 30 patients treated with the balloon or stent-assisted coil embolization was made between 2018-2019. After the treatment, Raymond-Roy classification was used for aneurysm occlusion assessment. AngioCalc cerebral and peripheral aneurysm calculator was used for the assess packing density of the treated aneurysms.Results: Thirty-one intracerebral aneurysms in 30 patients were included in the study. The number of aneurysms with balloon-assisted coil embolization was 18, while the number of aneurysms with stent-assisted embolization was 13. Recanalization was detected in the control image of 38.8% of patients in the balloon group and 7.7% of patients in the stent group. In our study, mortality was not observed, and the morbidity rate was 3.3%.Conclusion: CPD is a significant factor in providing Raymond-Roy Class 1 aneurysm occlusion. However, as the aneurysm volume increases in size, it becomes difficult to achieve high CPD, which increases the risk of recanalization. Studies with a larger patient group could show that the use of stents reduces the risk of recurrence in aneurysms treated with stent assistance.
Özet
Amaç: Koil paket dansitesinin (KPD) intraktaniyal anevrizma nüksünde önemli bir prediktif faktör olduğu ile ilgili birçok çalışma vardır. Çalışmamızda KPD yoğunluğunun tedavide kullanılan endovasküler tekniğe göre, anevrizma stabil okluzyonundaki rolünü göstermeyi amaçladık.
