Randomized Controlled Trial
Method of aneurysm treatment does not affect clot clearance after aneurysmal subarachnoid hemorrhage.
Patients undergoing neurosurgical clipping or endovascular coiling of a ruptured aneurysm may differ in their risk of vasospasm. ⋯ Aneurysm coiling and increased clot clearance were independently associated with decreased severity of angiographic vasospasm in multivariate analysis, although no differences in clot clearance were seen between coiled and clipped patients.
