* This score was significantly better in aneurysms treated with cyanoacrylate-coated sponges than in those treated with uncoated sponges (P < .05).
† This score was significantly better in aneurysms treated with cyanoacrylate-coated sponges than in those treated with uncoated sponges (P < .05).
‡ This measurement was significantly thicker in aneurysms treated with cyanoacrylate-coated sponges than in those treated with uncoated sponges (P < .05).
