Treatment allocation of ruptured anterior communicating artery aneurysms: The influence of aneurysm morphology.

Abstract:

OBJECTIVES:Since publication of the ISAT study, the majority of neurovascular centers adhere to "coil first" policy for patients with subarachnoid hemorrhage (SAH). However, final allocation in favor of coiling or clipping is based on anatomic features of ruptured intracranial aneurysms with respect to clinical characteristics of SAH. In this study, we analyzed the parameters relevant for treatment allocation of ruptured anterior communicating artery aneurysms (AComAA). PATIENTS AND METHODS:From our institutional SAH database, all cases with ruptured AComAA, which underwent diagnostic subtraction angiography (DSA) with subsequent treatment allocation, were included. The radiographic features of AComAA were collected from pre-treatment DSA. In addition, demographic, clinical and radiographic parameters of SAH were recorded. The variables selected through univariate analyses were subsequently evaluated using multivariate regression analysis. RESULTS:Of 300 SAH patients in the final analysis, the majority of the cases underwent endovascular coiling (n = 221, 73.7%). The following aneurysm features were associated with treatment modality in the univariate analysis: maximal sack size (p = 0.034), perpendicular height (p = 0.007), aspect ratio (p < 0.001) and sack/neck-ratio (p = 0.001). Accordingly, the following cutoffs for these variables were defined upon the receiver operating characteristics curves: 5 mm for sack size, 6 mm for perpendicular height, 1.6 for aspect ratio and sack/neck-ratio. In the multivariate analysis, aspect ratio of 1.6 was the only independent predictor of treatment allocation (p = 0.005; aOR = 2.57; 95% CI 1.33-4.96), which remained significant (p = 0.003; aOR = 2.77; 95% CI 1.41-5.45) after adjusting for patients' age, WFNS & Fisher grades, as well as intracerebral hematoma volume. CONCLUSION:Although not-routinely assessed during initial allocation treatment, our retrospective analysis proved that aspect ratio is a reliable predictor of treatment allocation of ruptured AComAA. Except for large space-occupying ICH commonly obligating the microsurgical treatment, other clinical and radiographic characteristics of SAH do not seem to be of clinical relevance for the selection of treatment modality.
