Abstract

To evaluate clinical strategy and effect of early-mid-phase microsurgery for ruptured cerebral anterior circulating aneurysm. Seventy-five patients presenting with anterior circulating aneurysmal subarachnoid hemorrhage (SAH) underwent early-mid-phase (within 3 days or 3-10 days) microsurgical clipping at Huashan Hospital between January 2001 and August 2004. Glasgow outcome scale (GOS) was conducted to evaluate patients' outcomes. Of 81 intracranial aneurysms, 77 lesions were clipped successfully, and 4 were wrapped. Good outcome was achieved in 53 cases, mild disability in 9 cases, severe disability in 7 cases, persistent vegetative state in 3 cases, and 3 patients (4%) died after surgery. The difference of GOS was statistically significant between patients in Hunt and Hess Grade I-III and Grade IV-V. However, there was no significant difference between early surgery and metaphase surgery. Early-mid-phase microsurgery for ruptured cerebral anterior circulating aneurysm is considered the feasible opinion.
