This report aimed to review the angiographic characteristics and evaluate the safety and feasibility of endovascular treatment of A1 aneurysms.MethodsNineteen ruptured and 13 unruptured A1 aneurysms treated endovascularly were evaluated in this study. The angiographic and clinical records were retrospectively reviewed.ResultsEndovascular treatments were successfully applied in all 32 aneurysms. Conventional coiling was performed in 24 aneurysms, stent-assisted coiling in 7, and solo stenting in 1. The immediate angiographic result was 1 aneurysm in 15, two aneurysms in 10, and 3 in 7 aneurysms according to the Raymond grade. Intraoperative rupture was detected in 1 case without clinical consequence, and no other procedure-related complication occurred. Angiographic follow-up (mean, 12 months; range, 2−42 months) of 25 aneurysms showed total occlusion in 20, improvement in 1, stability in 3, and recurrence in 1. The only recurrence was detected in a case treated using conventional coiling, and it was retreated with stent-assisted coiling. Clinical follow-up (mean, 25 months; range, 6−93 months) was available in 24 of 30 patients, and the modified Rankin Scale score was 0−1 in 22 patients.ConclusionsEndovascular treatment is technically feasible and safe for A1 aneurysms.
