Angiographic scores and neointima thickness in bifurcation aneurysms treated with coils alone or with cyanoacrylate
| Parameter | Coils Alone (n = 6) | Cyanoacrylate and Coils (n = 6) |
|---|---|---|
| Initial angiographic score | 0.40 ± 0.89 | 1.00 ± 1.16 |
| Score at 3 wks | 0.75 ± 0.96 | 0.00 ± 0.00 |
| Evolution of score at 3 wks | 0.75 ± 0.96 | −1.00 ± 1.16 |
| Score at 3 mo | 3.00 ± 0.71 | 0.50 ± 1.00* |
| Evolution of score at 3 mo | 2.60 ± 0.55 | −0.50 ± 1.92† |
| Neointima at 3 mo (μm) | 29.80 ± 24.36 | 300.00 ± 50.09‡ |
Note.—Data are the mean ± SD.
* This score was significantly better in aneurysms treated with cyanoacrylate over a coil than in those treated with coils alone (P = .001).
† This score is significantly better in aneurysms treated with cyanoacrylate over a coil than in those treated with coils alone (P = .01).
‡ This measurement at the neck of aneurysms treated with cyanoacrylate behind a coil is significantly thicker than that in aneurysms treated with coils alone (P < .05).
