Embolization of Ruptured Cerebral Aneurysms with GDC in Acute Stage.
CONCLUSIONS
21 cases of 22 ruptured cerebral aneurysms were treated in acute stage with Guglielmi detachable coils and the outcome was assesed. GDCs were placed intra-aneurysm for intra-aneurysmal occlusion.


METHODS
age 42-80 (mean; 59) y.o., 7 male and 14 female; 4, 6, 8 and 3 patients were categorized (Hunt and Hess) as grades 1, 2, 3 and 4 respectively. GDC embolization was performed within 24 hours of primary hemorrhage in 11 patients, within 2 to 3 days in 4 patients and 5 to 19 days in 6 patients. The occlusion rate was 100% in 7 ANs, more than 75% in 9 ANs and less than 75% in 6 ANs. There were 7 cases of complications, two coil deposits, one embolism and 4 reruptures.
