Fate of Coiled Aneurysms with Minor Recanalization at 6 Months: Rate of Progression to Further Recanalization and Related Risk Factors.

ABSTRACT:

Background and purpose

Minor recanalization in coiled aneurysms may remain stable with time or may progress to major recanalization. Our aim was to monitor the aneurysms displaying minor recanalization in imaging studies at 6 months, gauging major recanalization rates and related risk factors through extended follow-up.

Materials and methods

Sixty-five aneurysms (in 65 patients) showing minor recanalization in follow-up imaging at 6 months were reviewed retrospectively. Medical records and radiologic data accruing during extended monitoring (mean, 24.8 ± 8.2 months) were assessed. Univariate and multivariate analyses were conducted to identify risk factors for progression from minor-to-major recanalization.

Results

Progression to major recanalization was observed in 2
