Risk Factor Analysis of Recanalization Timing in Coiled Aneurysms: Early versus Late Recanalization.

ABSTRACT:

Background and purpose

Long-term documentation of anatomic and angiographic characteristics pertaining to the timing of recanalization in coiled aneurysms has been insufficient. Our intent was to analyze and compare early and late-phase recanalization after coiling, identifying respective risk factors.

Materials and methods

A total of 870 coiled saccular aneurysms were monitored for extended periods (mean, 30.8 ± 8.3 months). Medical records and radiologic data were also reviewed, stratifying patients as either early (n = 128) or late (n = 52) recanalization or as complete occlusion (n = 690). Early recanalization was equated with confirmed recanalization within 6 months after the procedure, whereas late recanalization was defined as verifiable recanaliz
