title: Embolization of Ruptured Cerebral Aneurysms with GDC in Acute Stage.
abstract: 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.
