title: Endovascular treatment of subarachnoid arterial aneurysms in the acute period. Preliminary results.
abstract: The authors report their preliminary experience concerning the endovascular treatment of ruptured subarachnoid aneurysms during the acute phase in 9 patients. The endovascular approach was only used in Hunt and Hess grade IV or V patients, as an alternative to surgical clipping and in cases considered technically difficult for surgery (extremity of the basilar artery). No particular technical difficulties were encountered, except for a case with vasospasm. Further experience is needed to evaluate the benefit of this method during the acute phase.
