Abstract
ObjectiveTo investigate the safety of endovascular thrombectomy in acute ischemic stroke patients with pre-existing intracranial aneurysms.
MethodsSeven patients with acute ischemic stroke combined with intracranial aneurysms, admitted to and received endovascular treatment in our hospital from January 2014 to December 2016, were chosen. The clinical data and safety were analyzed retrospectively.
ResultsAll patients with pre-existing intracranial aneurysms suffered acute large artery occlusion achieved successful endovascular re-canalization, and one patient suffered subarachnoid hemorrhage due to the rupture of aneurysm during the procedure. Three patients had grading 2b of Thrombolysis in Cerebral Infarction (TICI), and 4 had grading 3 of TICI. Four patients had 0-2 scores of modified Rankin Scale (mRS), one had 3 scores, and two died.
ConclusionEndovascular thrombectomy in acute ischemic stroke patients with pre-existing intracranial aneurysms is safe.
