Text

Objective: Intracranial aneurysms are treated by surgical clipping or endovascular treatment. However, optimal therapeutic strategy concerning partially thrombosed intracranial aneurysms is still controversially discussed. Therefore, we analyzed surgical and endovascular results in patients with partially thrombosed intracranial aneurysms.

Method: Between 2006 and 2015, 16 consecutive patients with partially thrombosed intracranial aneurysms were treated at our institution. Aneurysm occlusion, aneurysm recurrence and retreatment was assessed and analyzed. Furthermore, MEDLINE was searched for published studies on treatment for partially thrombosed intracranial aneurysms to gain a larger population. Two reviewers independently extracted data.

Results: Of 16 patients treated at our institution, 11 underwent surgical clipping (69%) and 5 underwent endovascular treatment (31%). Literature data, including the present series revealed a total of 159 partially thrombosed intracranial aneurysms. Overall, 38% underwent surgical clipping, and 62% underwent endovascular treatment. Complete aneurysm occlusion was achieved in 92% of aneurysms treated surgically compared to 63% treated endovascularly (p<0.0001). Retreatment was necessary in no patient treated surgically versus 58% of patients treated endovascularly (p<0.0001).

Conclusions: The present data indicates that surgical clipping of partially thrombosed intracranial aneurysms leads to significantly higher complete occlusion rates and fewer necessity of retreatment. Nevertheless, for optimal treatment an interdisciplinary decision-making process is necessary in each individual case.
