IVM PROTOCOL
OUTCOMES AT THE END OF THERAPY
RESULTS
GCS AT PRESENTATION
MOTOR RESPONSE AT PRESENTATION
Patients in IVM group(vs IAN group) had poorer motor response[<M6 response,5/13(38.4%)vs5/21(23.8%),p=0.36]
MODIFIED FISHER GRADES OF SAH AT PRESENTATION
Patients in IVM group(vs IAN group) had higher grades [modified Fisher ≥3) of SAH {12/13(92.3%)vs8/21(85.7%),p=0.56}].
CLINICAL IMPROVEMENT
After the end of the therapy, more patients in the IAN group(vs IVM group) showed clinical improvement [17/21(80.9%)vs10/13(76.9%),p=0.77].
DEVELOPMENT OF NEW INFARCTS
After the end of the therapy, more patients in the IAN group(vs IVM group) showed the development of new infarcts[15/21(71.4%)vs7/13(53.8%),p=0.29] on the last CT/MRI.
DISCHARGED TO HOME
After the end of the therapy, more patients in the IAN group(vs IVM group) were discharged to home[13/21(61.9%)vs6/13(46.1%),p=0.36]
MORTALITIES AT DISCHARGE
After the end of the therapy, patients in IAN group(vs IVM group) had less mortalities[2/21(9.5%)vs3/13(23.0%),p=0.027].
LIMITATIONS
CONCLUSION
Acute treatment of a ruptured cerebral aneurysm with a flow-diverter stent
Ruptured bilateral spontaneous intradural vertebral artery dissection treated by flow-diverter with a special caution of the fish-mouth phenomena
Embolization of VBJ fenestration aneurysm
Transvenous approach for the treatment of direct carotid cavernous fistula following flow diverter embolization of cavernous carotid aneurysm
