A computerised relational database for auditing endovascular treatment of patients with intracranial aneurysms.
We describe the development and design of a database for auditing patients with intracranial aneurysms and their endovascular treatment. The database has been used since 1992. Our department's version now contains records of over 800 patients and well over 1,000 aneurysms. The advantages of a relational database for this type of audit are discussed. Copies of the software can be obtained free of charge from the authors.
