Outcome No. of Studies Raw No. of Events in All Aneurysmsa Meta-Analysis Percentage (95% CI) I2 Intraoperative rupture 11 57/1387 4% (3–6%) 0 Vasospasm 6 182/1091 13% (5–28%) 95 Re-bleeding event 11 16/1065 2% (1–4%) 0 Aneurysm retreatment 10 73/777 7% (5–12%) 60 Morbidity or mortality due to stroke <30 days 10 21/771 3% (2–6%) 32 Permanent procedure-related morbidity 11 53/1077 6% (4–8%) 47 Procedure-related mortality 11 25/1077 3% (2–4%) 15 ↵a Discordances between the raw event percentages and the percentages calculated from the meta-analysis are caused by greater weights assigned to outcomes of studies with larger sample sizes.
