【 摘 要 】

OBJECTIVE: The objective of this study was to evaluate technical, clinical and angiographic results of a nonsurgical series of intracranial aneurysms treated by endovascular approach at Hospital das Clínicas of Medical School of Ribeirão Preto - University of São Paulo. METHOD: Between August 2005 and November 2008, 137 aneurysms in 106 patients were endovascularly treated. Of these, 101 were unruptured in 75 patients and 36 aneurysms in 31 patients were treated during the acute phase. The data were prospectively studied. RESULTS: Sixty three aneurysms (46%) were treated with coils alone, 52 (38%) with balloon remodeling, 15 (10.9%) with stent remodeling, and 7 (5.1%) with therapeutic occlusion of the internal carotid artery. Six clinical complications (5.7%) were related to the procedures, 3 (2.8%) transitory and 3 (2.8%) permanent. Angiographic follow-up was available for 97 aneurysms (70.8%), clinical monitoring for 77 patients (72.6%) and telephone contact for 97 (91.5%). CONCLUSION: The technical, clinical and angiographic results found in this study are similar to those reported in the literature
