Abstract
Objective: To systematically evaluate the safety and efficacy of SAC compared to non-SAC in the treatment of RIA, integrating evidence from high-quality studies to guide clinical practice.
Methods: A meta-analysis was conducted to compare SAC with coiling alone and BAC in the treatment of RIA. Primary outcomes were immediate and follow-up aneurysm occlusion rates, along with perioperative hemorrhagic and ischemic complication rates.
Results: A total of thirteen retrospective cohort studies were included, comprising 3,086 patients, with 1,078 in the SAC group and 2,008 in the non-SAC group. The immediate complete occlusion rates were similar between the SAC and non-SAC groups (59.1% vs. 61.4%; RR = 1.00; 95% CI [0.94, 1.07]; p = 0.92). However, the SAC group demonstrated a significantly higher long-term complete occlusion rate (61.3% vs. 40.6%; RR = 1.44; 95% CI [1.22, 1.69]; p < 0.001). The incidence of ischemic complications was greater in the SAC group (12.2% vs. 10.0%; RR = 1.68; 95% CI [1.37, 2.07]; p < 0.001), as was the incidence of hemorrhagic complications (7.3% vs. 5.1%; RR = 1.55; 95% CI [1.15, 2.08]; p = 0.004). Perioperative mortality was also elevated in the SAC group (6.7% vs. 6.8%; RR = 1.37; 95% CI [1.00, 1.88]; p = 0.048), with a non-significant trend towards higher long-term mortality (9.8% vs. 9.2%; RR = 1.35; 95% CI [0.98, 1.87]; p = 0.068). Functional outcomes at discharge (76.0% vs. 71.0%; RR = 0.97; 95% CI [0.92, 1.02]; p = 0.237), six months (57.8% vs. 60.8%; RR = 0.93; 95% CI [0.81, 1.07]; p = 0.296), and at the last follow-up (RR = 1.01; 95% CI [0.97, 1.06]; p = 0.592) were comparable between the two groups.
Conclusions: SAC significantly improves long-term occlusion rates for RIA compared to non-SAC, despite a higher incidence of complications. Careful patient selection and optimization of antiplatelet therapy may enhance the safety and efficacy of SAC for RIA treatment.
期刊介绍:
Translational Stroke Research covers basic, translational, and clinical studies. The Journal emphasizes novel approaches to help both to understand clinical phenomenon through basic science tools, and to translate basic science discoveries into the development of new strategies for the prevention, assessment, treatment, and enhancement of central nervous system repair after stroke and other forms of neurotrauma.
Translational Stroke Research focuses on translational research and is relevant to both basic scientists and physicians, including but not restricted to neuroscientists, vascular biologists, neurologists, neuroimagers, and neurosurgeons.
