Objective: We analyzed efficacy of endovascular treatment for unruptured anterior communicating artery (AcoA) aneurysms.

Methods: Fourteen consecutive patients with 14 unruptured AcoA aneurysms were treated with endovascular therapy from April 1999 to December 2005 in our institution. Morphological results, complication rates and outcome were analyzed.

Results: Morphological results were 6 (43%) complete occlusions, 5 (36%) neck remnants and 3 (21%) dome fillings. The overall mortality and morbidity rate was 0 %. We did not allow the coil compaction and aneurysmal enlargement or rupture during follow-up.

Conclusions: We performed endovascular treatment for unruptured AcoA aneurysms and found that endovascular treatment is an acceptable treatment.
