Complications and long-term outcomes after endovascular treatment of basilar trunk aneurysms.

ABSTRACT:

Purpose

Basilar trunk aneurysms (BTAs) are rare and challenging to treat, with a high complication rate. This study aimed to analyze and evaluate the complications and long-term outcomes associated with endovascular treatment (EVT) of BTAs and identify risk factors for post-procedural complications and unfavorable clinical outcomes.

Methods

This retrospective, observational cohort study included 90 patients (92 BTAs) treated with EVTs from January 2011 to April 2023. Factors associated with post-procedural complications and unfavorable clinical outcomes were analyzed.

Results

All 90 patients (92 aneurysms) were successfully treated, of which 63 (68.5%) aneurysms were small, 26 (28.3%) were large, and 3 (3.3%) were giant; 23 (25%) were saccular, and 69 (75%) were fusif
