Abstract

OBJECTIVE: Although intracranial aneurysms are increasingly treated endovascularly, microsurgical clipping has been the standard approach for middle cerebral artery (MCA) aneurysms. We compared microsurgical clipping and state-of-the-art endovascular treatment of u nruptured MCA bifurcation aneurysms treated at a neurovascular center following a coil-first policy. METHODS: This single-center study included 148 patients treated for 160 unruptured MCA bifurcation aneurysms. Technical success, complications, clinical outcome, and angiographic results were retrospectively compared. RESULTS: Microsurgical clipping was performed for 120 MCA aneurysms (75%) and endovascular treatment for 40 (25%; conventional coiling: 8, stent-assisted coiling: 16, balloon-assisted coiling: 3, and flow-disruption: 13). Techn ical treatment success was higher in the clipping group (100%) than in the endovascular group (92.5%, P = 0.015). Overall, complications occurred in 16.7% for clipping and in 20.0% for endovascular treatment (P = 0.631). Major ischemic stroke rates were 4.2% in the clipping group and 7.5% in the endovascular group (P = 0.414). At 6 months, a favorable outcome was obtained by 99.2% after clipping and 95.0% after endovascular treatment (P = 0.154). The 6 month complete aneurysm occlusion rates were by trend higher in the clipping group (89.2%) than in the endovascular group (75.9%, P = 0.078). CONCLUSIONS: Microsurgical clipping was associated with a higher technical success rate and tendentially higher complete occlusion than endovascular treatment, with no additional morbidity and similar clinical outcome. On the basis of these results, clipping proves to be the standard treatment option for MCA bifurcation aneurysms. However, endovascular treatment represents a safe and efficient alternative treatment option for patients.
